Missouri at Arkansas

•  WHEN/WHERE: 3 p.m. Saturday at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Ark.

•  TV/RADIO: ESPN; KMBZ (980 AM, 98.1 FM)

•  ABOUT MISSOURI (18-6, 7-4 SEC): The Tigers won their first road game Wednesday, hammering Mississippi State 78-36. … The recent emergence of senior guard Keion Bell — who’s averaging 16.5 points per game during the past month — has been a revelation for Missouri. … Sophomore guard Jabari Brown has scored double figures in 14 of 15 games since he became eligible in December. … Junior guard Earnest Ross is a game-time decision because of an ankle injury but will likely play.

•  ABOUT ARKANSAS (15-9, 6-5 SEC): The Razorbacks won their first road game Wednesday, toppling a struggling Auburn team 83-75. … Arkansas is 30-4 under Anderson at Bud Walton Arena and has lost just one game at home this season, 91-82 to No. 6 Syracuse. … Sophomore guard B.J. Young, a St. Louis native, is an explosive scorer at 16.5 points per game.

•  BOTTOM LINE: Emotions figure to run high and the Tigers desperately want to win this game. But they have struggled against teams that press — such as Florida and Louisville — and the Razorbacks are terrific at home. To have a chance, Pressey and Bell must take care of the ball, Ross and Jabari Brown must make shots and senior forward Alex Oriakhi must stay out of foul trouble. That’s a lot of ifs.
