KEY GAME INFORMATION
ARKANSAS: Head coach Mike Anderson has continued to build his program, and this could be the season that Arkansas breaks through. C Bobby Portis (12.3 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 1.6 BPG) had an incredible freshman season, showing the ability to be a player a team can lean on. What makes him special is his ability to run the floor, something you do not see in a lot of 6-foot-11 post players in college basketball. On the perimeter, SF Michael Qualls (11.6 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 35% threes) and SG Rashad Madden (12.7 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 2.8 APG) are two consistent scorers who will make it tough for defenses to double-team Portis in the paint. Incoming PGs Anton Beard (freshman) and Jabril Durham (JUCO) are expected to share point-guard duties. The Razorbacks have been great at home, but if they want to make a deeper run, they need to win more consistently on the road.
SMU: Expectations were high heading into the season as head coach Larry Brown thought he would have Emmanuel Mudiay leading the show, but Mudiay went overseas to play professionally. Despite the loss, the Mustangs are still a loaded team. PG Nic Moore (13.6 PPG, 4.9 APG, 1.5 SPG) is one of the more underrated point guards in the country. He is great on both ends of the court, and he can also knock down the long-range shot (44% threes). PF Markus Kennedy (12.4 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 1.6 APG) is the perfect big man for this team, as SMU is looking to push the pace and cause havoc on defense, but he will miss the first semester due to academic difficulties. The player to look out for is SG Keith Frazier (5.4 PPG, 40% threes). He had some struggles as a freshman, but he has the potential to be a 15-point scorer this season. If he reaches that level of scoring acumen, then the Mustangs will be a very difficult opponent in the NCAA Tournament.

*Arkansas-SMU Preview* ======================

By PAUL DIGIACOMO STATS Senior Editor

Arkansas (3-0) at SMU (2-2), 7:30 p.m. EDT

Arkansas is back in the AP Top 25 for the first time in seven years. It's been even longer since the program opened with four straight victories.

The 25th-ranked Razorbacks try to accomplish that feat for the first time since the 2006-07 season Tuesday night when they visit an SMU team that just fell out of the rankings and has dropped 12 straight in the series.

Arkansas has won its first three games by at least 18 points for the first time since 2004-05 and is easily the highest-scoring team in the SEC with 93.0 per game.

That start enabled the Razorbacks to jump into the Top 25 on Monday, and this will be the first time in 225 games that they will take the court as a ranked team.

Arkansas improved to 3-0 with a 99-71 win over Delaware State on Friday. Junior guard Michael Qualls had 20 points and three other players scored 14 apiece, but coach Mike Anderson made it a point to discuss the team's defense.

The Razorbacks have forced 44 turnovers in the last two games, with their opponents making 44 field goals.

"We turned up the pressure on defense and like I always say our defense leads to offense," Anderson told the school's official website. "Our defense tonight got us into an offensive rhythm and that's OK because we want to have a defensive mentality every single game."

SMU was No. 22 in the preseason poll but fell out Monday after losing twice last week. Following a 93-54 season-opening win over Lamar, the Mustangs fell 72-56 at then-No. 13 Gonzaga and 74-68 at Indiana before beating Eastern Washington 77-68 on Saturday.

Junior guard Nic Moore led SMU (2-2) with 22 points, six assists and two steals, while sophomore Keith Frazier added a career-high 17 points.

It was the first of seven straight games at renovated Moody Coliseum, where the Mustangs are 14-1 since it reopened last season. Arkansas is the biggest name during the homestand.

"This is a long season," coach Larry Brown said. "We've got a lot of big games. Our goal is to get better."

The Mustangs will likely be without senior transfer Justin Martin after the forward left Saturday's game with a right knee injury. Martin, who started against the Hoosiers, is averaging 7.5 points in 17.0 minutes.

"I don't think they thought it was ligament, he had some stability, but they think it's something that's going to probably take some time," Brown said.

SMU is already without forward Markus Kennedy because of eligibility issues. A unanimous preseason All-AAC pick along with Moore, Kennedy was second on the team with 12.4 points per game in 2013-14 and led the Mustangs with an average of 7.1 rebounds.

"We went from being real deep to not having a real deep bench. But we'll see. It will give other guys an opportunity," Brown said.

This is the first meeting at Moody Coliseum between these former Southwest Conference opponents since 1994-95. Arkansas leads the all-time series 95-59 after an 89-78 home win last Nov. 18.
