What to Know
We’ve got another exciting SEC matchup on schedule as the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Arkansas Razorbacks are set to tip at 12:00 p.m. ET on March 9th at Coleman Coliseum. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
The oddsmakers set the bar high, but Alabama and Florida didn’t disappoint and broke past the 176 point over/under on Tuesday. The Crimson Tide took a 105-87 bruising from the Gators. Alabama has been going strong on the season, but this is now their second loss in a row.
Alabama’s defeat came about despite a quality game from Mark Sears, who scored 33 points. Sears is on a roll when it comes to points, as he’s now scored 20 or more in the last four games he’s played. Another player making a difference was Aaron Estrada, who scored 17 points along with five rebounds and two steals.
Alabama struggled to work together and finished the game with only six assists. That’s the fewest assists they’ve managed all season.
Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when your shooting is a whole 16% better than the opposition, a fact Arkansas proved on Wednesday. They came out on top against the Tigers by a score of 94-83.
Arkansas’ victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Khalif Battle, who scored 29 points along with three blocks. Battle has been hot recently, having posted 29 or more points the last four times he’s played. The team also got some help courtesy of El Ellis, who scored 16 points along with six rebounds and three steals.
The Crimson Tide have been struggling recently as they’ve lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 20-10 record this season. As for the Razorbacks, the win got them back to even at 15-15.
Fans should be in for an exciting game on Saturday as both teams are among the highest scoring teams in the league right now. Alabama hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 90.8 points per game (they’re ranked first in scoring overall). However, it’s not like Arkansas struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 77.4 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Alabama skirted past Arkansas 86-83 in their previous matchup back in February of 2023. Does Alabama have another victory up their sleeve, or will Arkansas turn the tables on them? We’ll have the answer soon enough.

Texas bee swarm hospitalizes 3; Arkansas doctors explain warning signs of severe reactions
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation.
