The No. 24 Arkansas Razorbacks worked their way into the top 10, but they nearly fell out of the rankings altogether after their most recent game. They will host the Hofstra Pride on Saturday night.
Arkansas is coming off an 88-66 road loss to future SEC opponent Oklahoma Sooners last weekend, and the Razorbacks were punished in the polls for it. Arkansas is an offense-led team according to KenPom’s adjusted efficiency ratings, and they are led by JD Notae, who is averaging 18.1 points per game but has struggled on 3-pointer attempts.
Hofstra has a 6-5 record heading into Saturday night after winning five of their last six games. The Pride are driven by their offense as their defense ranks outside the top 250 in adjusted efficiency. Zach Cooks is the team’s leading scorer with 17.4 points per game.
