- Florida leads the all-time series 26-15 including a 14-3 advantage in games played in Gainesville.
- However, Arkansas has won three straight in the series including an 82-74 victory over the Gators the last time Arkansas came to Gainesville. That win snapped a 14-game losing streak at the O’Connell Center dating back to 1995. In the win two years ago, Davonte Davis scored 19 points off the bench (7-of-10 FG • 2-of-3 3PT) with six rebounds, four assists and zero turnovers. Arkansas only committed six turnovers for the game.
- LAST YEAR: ARK 84 • FLA 65 // IN FAYETTEVILLE: Arkansas had five players score in double figures, including a career-high 26 points from Jalen Graham and a double-double by Makhi Mitchell (10 points and 10 rebounds), to defeat Florida, 84-65.
- Arkansas has a history of tough starts in SEC play, only to turn the season around to reach three straight Sweet 16’s, including two Elite 8’s. In 2020-21: Arkansas won its SEC opener, but started SEC play 2-4, including a 31-point loss at Alabama (90-59) for its fourth loss. After that, Arkansas won its next 12 SEC games including a victory over Missouri in the SEC Tournament. (NOTE: Arkansas lost at Oklahoma State during the 12-game SEC win streak as part of the SEC-Big 12 Challenge). Arkansas reached the Elite 8 before falling to eventual champion Baylor. In 2021-22: Arkansas started 0-3 in SEC play before winning its next 8 SEC games (nine overall with a victory over West Virginia in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge). and won 14 of its final 15 SEC games overall (including a win over #1 Auburn). The only loss was a 68-67 setback at Alabama. Arkansas reached the Elite 8 after beating #1 overall seed Gonzaga in the Sweet 16. In 2022-23: Arkansas lost its SEC opener but started 1-5 in SEC play. Then, Arkansas won five straight SEC games (with a loss at Baylor in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge) and seven of nine to get to 8-7 in league play, Arkansas lost its final three SEC games (at #2 Alabama, at #12 Tennessee and vs #23 Kentucky). Arkansas beat Auburn in the SEC Tournament to help secure an NCAA berth and reached the Sweet 16 — upsetting #1 seed Kansas in the second round — before falling to eventual champion UConn.
- Did you know, the SEC has had at least one team make the NCAA Tournament field during four of the last five seasons and six of the last eight after an 0-2 conference start when the Big Dance has been held? Mississippi State (2022-23); Arkansas (2021-22); Mississippi State (2018-19); Tennessee and Texas A&M (2017-18); Vanderbilt( 2015-16) and Georgia (2014-15).

After 15 weeks into the regular season, Alabama men’s basketball entered its matchups against then-No. 20 Arkansas and LSU as the No. 25 team in the AP Top 25, but was outside of the Coaches Poll for the third straight week.
The Crimson Tide came into this past week winning its previous four contests, and Alabama continued the streak with a 117-115 home win over the Razorbacks in double overtime on Feb. 18 and an 90-83 road victory over the Tigers on Feb. 21.
These wins helped Alabama move up to No. 17 in the AP Top 25 and No. 18 in the Coaches Poll on Monday.
Against Arkansas, Alabama’s 117 points became the second-most scored in school history following career-high scoring performances by guard Labaron Philon Jr. (35 points) and Aiden Sherrell (26). In addition to the scoring total, Alabama had a couple more season bests: 76 percent from the field in the second half, 40 made field goals and 58 points in the paint.
Against LSU, Aden Holloway led the way with 17 points and put up what head coach Nate Oats called the guard’s best game “on the defensive end all year.” Amari Allen and London Jemison were also big down the stretch as they finished the game with 16 and 12 points, respectively. Aiden Sherrell had 12 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out.
Alabama aims to further the winning streak at home against Mississippi State on Feb. 25 and on the road against No. 22 Tennessee on Feb. 28.
