For context, the 8.0% block rate last season ranked #19 in Arkansas' 49 seasons of tracking blocked shots. Last week's 9.5% for a season would rank #6 all time.
For what it's worth - in the 2 exhibition games vs. Gonzaga and Memphis, @RazorbackMBB blocked 13 of its opponents' 137 field goal attempts for a 9.5% block rate. Last season Arkansas blocked 8.0% of opponents' shots.

Darius Acuff Jr. is doing things the NBA has rarely seen from a rookie 👀
🏀158 pts in 6 career games, tied with Shaq for most by anyone since NBA/ABA merger in 1976-77 🤯
🏀9 made 3s Saturday, most ever by a teenager in a game 😲
🏀5th in NBA history with at least 3 30-pt games in their first 6 career games, 1st since Allen Iverson 💪
9 dunks = 18 of Arkansas' 83 points vs. Memphis = 19.4%
Dunks haven't been consistently recorded but one game I'd go to for a guess is last year's 15 against Jackson State - 30 of 115 points = 26.1%
@HogStats here's one for ya: what percentage of Hog's point total on Wednesday was off of dunks? Whats the highest percentage of dunk-points in a game all time? 🤪
Arkansas reaches 85 points with 5:32 left - the magic number apparently. @RazorbackMBB is 54-0 all time in exhibition games when scoring at least 85 points - 27-11 when scoring below 85.
The 48 first-half points tonight ties for the most @RazorbackMBB has scored against an NCAA D1 team in an exhibition game (also 48 vs. Cincy last season).
Arkansas is 57-1 all time in BWA exhibition games that UA led at halftime, including 5-0 against NCAA D1 teams.
The 2026-27 @RazorbackMBB roster has 8 freshmen. If all 8 play, it'd tie with the 1978-79 team for the most freshmen to play for UA in a season.
2026-27:
Toure
Ourigou
Muurinen
Andrews
Maker
Thompson
Frolov
Smith
1978-79:
Hastings
Peterson
Brown
Friess
Scott
Craft
Bailey
Nash
Note: due to the new eligibility model for NCAA D1 athletes, Arkansas' Paulo Semedo is now listed as a sophomore, instead of as a redshirt freshman as he was earlier this offseason.
