Darius Acuff Jr. - Finishes tournament with 30 points Acuff closed with 30 points (9-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and 11 assists over 37 minutes during Sunday's 86-75 victory over Vanderbilt.

Impact Acuff closed a great season with an excellent SEC Tournament run. In three games, the 6-3 freshman produced 30.3 points on 43.5 percent from the field and 50.0 percent on 3-pointers with 4.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists. The SEC Player of the Year is going to be a problem for opponents in the NCAA Tournament.

Billy Richmond III - Puts up 18 points Richmond amassed 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 38 minutes during Sunday's 86-75 victory over Vanderbilt.

Impact In the first two games of the SEC Tournament, Richmond averaged just 6.5 points on 5-of-18 (27.8 percent) from the field. He had his best scoring game in his last five against the Commodores and hit a 3-pointer for the first time in six games. As a starter in his last 12 games, Richmond has provided 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks. He could be a high-ceiling player to consider in the NCAA Tournament.

Meleek Thomas - Leads Arkansas with 29 points Thomas amassed a season-high 29 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 45 minutes during Saturday's 93-90 OT win over Ole Miss.

Impact Thomas played the entire game as coach John Calipari has shortened his rotation due to an injury to Karter Knox. Thomas was limited to eight points in the win over Oklahoma on Friday, but had one of his best shooting games in the overtime. The Razorbacks will meet Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament finals on Sunday. Thomas began his starting stint on Jan. 20 against the Commodores and provided 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists.

Darius Acuff Jr. - Scores 24, deals seven dimes Acuff finished with 24 points (7-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 93-90 OT victory over Ole Miss.

Impact Acuff was coming off a 37-point performance in the SEC Tournament win over Oklahoma. He has played 40 minutes in both games, so it is fair to wonder how he will hold up against the defensive-minded Vanderbilt guards in the tournament finals. The 6-3 freshman had 17 points and five assists in the blowout win over the Commodores on Jan. 20.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Trevon Brazile - Provides another double-double Brazile chipped in 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 93-90 OT win over Ole Miss.

Impact Brazile has provided back-to-back double-doubles in the Razorbacks' two SEC Tournament wins. He has consecutive double-doubles for the first time this season. Arkansas will take on Vanderbilt on Sunday in the tournament finals. Brazile paced the Razorbacks with 10 points, 14 rebounds, five assists and four steals in the Jan. 20 win over the Commodores.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Karter Knox - Still sidelined Knox (knee) will not play in Saturday's SEC Tournament semi-final against Mississippi.

Impact It'll be Knox's 10th absence in Arkansas' last 11 games. When healthy, the sophomore averaged 8.1 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22 contests. The best-case scenario for Knox and the Razorbacks would be a return for the start of the NCAA Tournament next week.

Acuff Jr. scores 37 as No. 17 Arkansas holds off Oklahoma to reach SEC Tournament semis

Darius Acuff Jr. scored 37 points, helping No. 17 Arkansas hold off Oklahoma 82-79 on Friday night to reach the Southeastern Conference Tournament semifinals

MARCH 14 • Associated Press

Trevon Brazile - Gets double-double in win Brazile chipped in 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 82-79 victory over Oklahoma.

Impact Brazile had his sixth double-double of the season and first since Feb. 10. He has been a consistent scorer, but the rebounds tend to come and go. The Razorback forward had his best game on the offensive glass. Arkansas will meet upset-minded Ole Miss on Saturday. Brazile had 18 points and six boards in the Jan. 7 win over the Rebels.

Darius Acuff Jr. - Pours in 37 as Arkansas advances Acuff posted 37 points (11-21 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 82-79 win over Oklahoma.

Impact After missing the regular season finale with an ankle injury, Acuff was cleared for the SEC Tournament and didn't miss a beat despite not playing for over a week. He put up his second-highest scoring total of the year, and while a missed free throw late left the door open for Oklahoma, the Sooners ultimately couldn't cash in. Next up is a matchup against SEC Tournament surprise team Ole Miss in the semifinals on Saturday.

Karter Knox - Out Friday Knox (knee) is out for Friday's SEC Tournament game, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Knox will unsurprisingly miss the quarterfinal matchup as he continues to go through rehab from his knee surgery in February. He shed his crutches last week, but he still likely has a ways to go before he can return to the court.

MARCH 10 • Associated Press

Darius Acuff Jr. - Available for SEC tournament Acuff (ankle) will be available for Arkansas' first game of the SEC tournament, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Great news keeps on coming for Acuff who, not long after being named SEC Player of the Year, can look to back up his nomination by showcasing his talent in the conference's grandest stage. In 17 conference games, Acuff averaged 24.8 points, 6.6 assists and 2.5 three-pointers made on 49.2/43.3/82.6 shooting splits. Because he and the Razorbacks earned a top-three seed, there are at least three more days of recovery available before they play either South Carolina, Oklahoma or Texas A&M for their first game this tournament cycle.
