The Arkansas Razorbacks will be looking to pull the upset on the No. 10 Missouri Tigers when they play Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN2. The last time these two teams played each other in January, Missouri won 81-68.
Arkansas (13-3, 6-3) enters this conference battle off of an 81-80 win over the Kentucky Wildcats. With the victory, the Razorbacks have won two-straight and four out of their last five contests. Arkansas averages 82.7 points per game and only allows 69.9 points per game on the defensive end this season. The Tigers will have their attention on Razorbacks guard Moses Moody. The freshman standout is averaging 16.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.
Mizzou (13-4, 6-4) saw their three-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday by the Ole Miss Rebels. In that game the Tigers could not stop the Rebels on the glass, as they were out-rebounded 34-19. Missouri also only had one starter in double figures, which was Dru Smith who scored 17 points. Meanwhile the Rebels had three starters with 15 points or more.

On the other sideline the Razorbacks have gone 6-4, which includes them winning four out of their last five contests.
