Darius Acuff Jr. now has 817 points and 229 assists this season. Only 4 other NCAA D1 men's players have reached both those levels in the same season (Jay Williams, Trae Young, Kay Felder, Terrell Lowery), and Acuff is the only one do it with less than 120 turnovers (has 76).
Darius Acuff Jr. of @RazorbackMBB is the only player to have 60+ points, 10+ assists & 5 or fewer turnovers over any 2-game span in the NCAA Tournament (since assists became official in 1983-84).
He did it in his first 2 tourney games as a freshman.
Darius Acuff Jr.: 24 points, 7 assists
Meleek Thomas: 21 points, 5 assists
First freshman duo ever with 20+ points and 5+ assists in an NCAA Tournament game, per CBS Sports research.
These analytic dudes are so silly. He used a +/- for Acuff and said he was a -2. Ya think?!? He played the whole 50 minutes and his team lost by 2. Of course that would be the score for that. Man get out of here!
Acuff talk…
Great offensively
Terrible defensively
For example he played against the 64th best defense in the country.
He played 50 Min… and scored 49 points.
He allowed 29 points on defense.
Oats just put whoever Acuff was guarding in the corner & ran side PNR knowing that Acuff is a horrid off ball defender and is lazy.
Lazy defender
Lazy defensive rebounder
His +/-
-2
Offense is not just about scoring and Defense matters.
We are talking about COLLEGE PG production on both the offensive side and defensive side.
Over his last 7 games the @Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs has:

a game w/ 100+ rec yds
a game w/ 10+ catches
a game w/ 14.0+ yds/rush

@TreyBiddy I’ve been trying to find the replay all day on flags. They finally showed one on this play and of course not even from the angle that you could see if he actually jumped into the zone or not. Love it sure didn’t look like he did.
@JacksonCollier Is it only in the NBA that you have to give them space to land when shooting? Dude was under TB and he landed on him. Close to rolling his ankle pretty bad.
Arkansas got the ball up 24-19 with 12 minutes left in the game.
They proceeded to turn it over 4 times, all on passing plays, to lose 24-33.
Every 4th quarter play for both sides was on Arkansas’s side of the field.
Absolutely bonkers way to lose a game.
