@honchorazorback @SawyerRadler @HogsPlus Made it!

@SawyerRadler @HogsPlus @ballhogdata where did he get that

Look closely. Had to do a double take 👀 👕 @ballhogdata @HogsPlus

Arkansas field goals made in conference play this season. Each dot represents one made field goal 🔴 2PT | 🟢 3PT (Karter Knox and Isaiah Sealy omitted due to lower totals: 27 FGM and 6 FGM, respectively)

Arkansas’ best two-man, three-man, four-man, and five-man lineups this season, according to @EvanMiya’s observed team efficiency margin.

Billy Richmond III since his role increased in February 📈 Poised for a big March.

Billy Richmond’s role has changed significantly, and so has his production. After never playing 34 minutes or scoring 17+ points in his first 59 career games, Billy has logged 34+ mins in four straight and 20+ points in his last three. Career PPG: 7.7 Last 3 Games: 22.0 (+186%)

@NukeAltmeyeIL @JacksonCollier And Arkansas would not have had a chance to win either game without Acuff. Not sure the angle here.

@ballhogdata @JacksonCollier In the two losses Bama’s guards shot 16-25 for 50 points Houston’s guards shot 18-38 for 56 points That is partially on Acuff 😭

Darius Acuff is simply elite. His results against top guard prospects head to head.

@NukeAltmeyeIL @JacksonCollier Arkansas is 3-2 in these games, and neither loss was due to Acuff’s defense.

@JacksonCollier If only his team wasn’t 2-3 in these games partially because he’s a complete sieve on defense…

This guard class is shaping up to be one of the best in NBA Draft history. Here’s how Darius Acuff has stacked up against fellow future stars — Christian Anderson, Mikel Brown Jr., Kingston Flemings, Labaron Philon Jr., and Tyler Tanner — in head-to-head matchups. Acuff = PG1

Arkansas player impact through 25 games. BPR (Bayesian Performance Rating) measures a player’s point impact per 100 possessions vs. a D-I average player. Higher = more valuable.

@IloveFreedom00 @JacksonCollier Over 90% of his FGAs this year have been at the rim. Only taken 6 shots outside the paint.

@JacksonCollier Pringle?!

Noticing

Arkansas' offensive roles in conference play

@Hat_IsBack Both combined. Adjusted for quality of opponents on the floor

Interesting! Is this offense and defense ?

@AnomSND @EvanMiya @JacksonCollier @CurtWilkerson_ @pinto479 @BBakerHogs This is a feature on evanmiya.com - measured as observed team efficiency margin, which is points allowed/scored with a certain combination of players on the floor. Adjusted for the quality of opponents on the floor.

@ballhogdata @EvanMiya @JacksonCollier @CurtWilkerson_ @pinto479 @BBakerHogs Would be interested in what stats you are summarizing for “best. Not saying I disagree based off eye test and even other stats but what metrics are being put in?

Here’s a look at Arkansas’ best two-man, three-man, four-man, and five-man lineups, according to @EvanMiya

Arkansas player impact through 22 games BPR (Box Plus-Minus) measures a player’s point impact per 100 possessions vs. a D-I average player. Higher = more valuable.

Assists vs field goals made (SEC players, min. 48 minutes played). Darius Acuff Jr. stands alone above the rest.

Arkansas made-shot distribution in SEC play (7 games) 🔴 2P Made | 🟢 3P Made

Through 5 conference games (small sample), these are the best and worst 5-man lineups (11+ min) by net rating. Worth noting: there are two other lineups with 11-12 mins together but are sitting closer to 0; so the graphic is more about early trends. Data from @ArkansasQuant

Arkansas’ Kenpom profile over the past 25 seasons, as measured by their adjusted offensive, defensive, and overall efficiency metrics. A lot of games to go, but Arkansas’ current #7 ranked offense would be the highest in program history, in the Kenpom era.
