SATURDAY’S GAME BASICS
Oklahoma (6-1) closes a three-game homestand when it hosts Arkansas (5-2) Saturday at 2 p.m. CT at Lloyd Noble Center. The Sooners, who have won 31 straight non-conference home games, are coming off a 73-59 victory over Oral Roberts on Thursday. The Razorbacks haven’t played since Saturday when they lost 75-62 at then-No. 8 Connecticut. Saturday’s contest will air on the Sooner Radio Network (KOKC AM 1520 in Oklahoma City; KTBZ AM 1430 in Tulsa; Sirius 134, XM 195) with Toby Rowland and Mike Houck announcing. The game will be televised by the Sooner Sports Network (KAUT Ch. 43 in OKC; KOCO Ch. 6 in Tulsa; ESPN Full Court) with Bob Carpenter and Billy Tubbs calling the action.

PREVIEWING ARKANSAS
Picked sixth in the preseason SEC media poll, Arkansas enters Saturday’s game with a 5-2 record. The Razorbacks are 5-1 at home (suffered an 87-78 loss to Houston) and 0-1 on the road. They fell 75-62 at Connecticut in their most recent game last Saturday. Arkansas grabbed 27 offensive rebounds and outboarded the Huskies by 12, but was held to .312 field goal shooting on the day.

The Razorbacks are shooting .447 from the field while holding opponents to a .386 mark. They average an impressive +5.9 turnover margin and have more than twice as many steals as their foes (67-32).

Freshman guard B.J. Young leads Arkansas’ available players with his 15.4 scoring average in only 22.7 minutes a game (17.7 points over the last six outings). Young is coming off a 28-point effort at defending national champion Connecticut in which he went 5-for-6 from 3-point distance and scored 17 straight Razorback points in the second half. He is shooting .500 from both the field and 3-point range (13-for-26).

Sophomore guard Mardracus Wade is averaging 10.9 points per contest while junior guard Julysses Nobles contributes 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and a team-high 3.1 assists per outing. Wade has made 14 treys (shooting .483) and Nobles has canned 11 (.355). Freshman forward Devonta Abron averages a team-high 5.4 rebounds per game. He pulled down 16 against Connecticut.

Junior forward Marshawn Powell, a second-team preseason All-SEC pick by league coaches, tore knee ligaments in practice Nov. 17 and will miss the rest of the season. Powell averaged a team-high 19.5 points in Arkansas’ first two games (in an average of just 21.5 minutes) on .714 field goal shooting.

Mike Anderson is 205-100 (.672) in his 10th year as a collegiate head coach and first season at Arkansas. The head coach at Missouri the last five seasons, he was an Arkansas assistant coach from 1986 to 2002 and won a national title with the Razorbacks in 1994.

OU-ARKANSAS SERIES HISTORY
Saturday’s game will mark the 26th between Oklahoma and Arkansas, and the 12th meeting in Norman. Despite winning six of the last eight overall meetings against the Razorbacks, OU trails the all-time series by a 14-11 count. The Sooners lead 8-3 in games played in Norman. OU swept a four-game home-and-home series between the 1998-99 and 2001-02 seasons and has posted wins in two of the last four years.

I think they said the ORU game was gonna be on 6 as well. It turned out that it was on Fox Sports instead. So if it's not on 6, try 722 or 27 next :)

I set the vBookie odds at even for this game and everyone is taking the OU side! Football losses have a way of getting fans to jump back to basketball :D
