More on Arkansas vs Missouri

Arkansas is clinging to its top 25 ranking as the Razorbacks travel to Missouri in desperate need of a conference win.

The Razorbacks are 12-5 this season but only 1-4 in SEC play. That one win came against Mizzou, though. So, there is a good reason to think that Arkansas can get an important conference win in this game. Meanwhile, the Tigers are 13-4 and 2-3 in conference play.

Injuries are starting to show on the Razorbacks. Head coach Eric Musselman knows that these injuries are something that the team needs to find a way to play through those injuries.

The expectation is that this is going to be an incredibly tight contest between two evenly matched teams. Both need a conference win to get things going in SEC play too.
