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.

Darius Acuff Jr. Stats: How did the Arkansas star fare against Oklahoma in SEC Tournament game? Darius Acuff Jr. played 40 minutes of Arkansas’ SEC tournament game against Oklahoma on Friday.

MARCH 14 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM

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.

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

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.

Darius Acuff Jr. is The Associated Press’ player of the year in the Southeastern Conference

MARCH 10 • Associated Press

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.

Arkansas guard Darius Acuff and Florida coach Todd Golden land top honors from SEC coaches

Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. and Florida’s Todd Golden have been named the Southeastern Conference’s player and coach of the year

MARCH 9 • Associated Press

Named conference POTY Acuff (ankle) has been named the SEC Player of the Year, per a release.

Impact Acuff led the conference in points (22.2) and assists (6.4) while shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 43.7 percent from the three-point line, so it's not a surprise the SEC gave Acuff POTY honors. The freshman's campaign was highlighted by a 49-point outburst in a double-OT loss to Alabama in February. Acuff missed Arkansas' regular-season finale with an ankle injury, potentially putting his availability for Friday's SEC Tournament game in doubt.
