Auburn basketball crushes Arkansas on the road in historic fashion

Auburn crushed Arkansas 83-51 on the road on Saturday, handing the Razorbacks one of their worst home losses in program history.

The 32-point margin is Arkansas’ worst-ever defeat inside of Bud Walton Arena, which opened in November of 1993.

That 32-point loss for Arkansas is their largest margin of defeat in Bud Walton Arena… ever.

The Tigers just handed the Hogs one of their worst losses in modern program history.

This result underscores Arkansas’ disappointing season under coach Eric Musselman. The Razorbacks are 9-5 this season and are on track to miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018-19 — Mike Anderson’s last year at the helm.

For Auburn, this is a huge win for a program that came into this game ranked No. 25 nationally. The Tigers are 12-2 overall this season and look to be contenders in the SEC this season.

Four different Auburn players scored in double figures against Arkansas. The Tigers were led by Chad Baker, who scored a game-high 16 points off the bench. Johni Broome, Jaylin Williams and Tre Donaldson.

Auburn will be back in action on Tuesday as it hosts Texas A&M.
