Overview
- Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported Acuff is doubtful to play Saturday at Missouri due to an undisclosed issue.
- Acuff delivered 28 points and 13 assists in Arkansas’ 105-85 win over Texas, after which Longhorns coach Sean Miller called him a “generational player” and questioned why he isn’t in No. 1 pick talks.
- For the season, Acuff averages about 22.2 points and 6.4 assists while leading the SEC in both categories with elite shooting and a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.
- OptaStats, via CBS Sports, notes no Division I player has recorded Acuff’s season combination of 20+ PPG, 5+ APG, 40% 3-point shooting and a 3.00+ A/TO ratio over at least 75% of games.
- Most draft projections still place Acuff as a lottery pick rather than the consensus No. 1, with prospects like Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa and Cameron Boozer commonly ranked at the top as his short-term availability becomes a focus before the SEC and NCAA tournaments.
