FAYETTEVILLE — A few things are apparent after the first six games of the 2022-23 season for ninth-ranked Arkansas.
For one, the Razorbacks are solid defensively and have the potential to be one of the nation’s best on that end. According to KenPom analytics, they have a defensive efficiency rating of 87.1, which is fifth-best in the country.
Secondly, freshman guard Anthony Black and Wichita State transfer Ricky Council are the heartbeat of the team’s play on the floor. The duo ranks No. 1 and 2 in scoring and steals, and tied for the lead in assists.
