For the first time this season, Arkansas is riding a two-game losing streak. It comes as it welcomes former Southwest Conference foe TCU to Fayetteville for the Big 12/SEC Challenge.

Before the 3 p.m. CT tip Saturday, which will be televised on ESPN2, HawgBeat thought it'd be a good idea to give a scouting report of sorts on the Horned Frogs.

Below is a look at their starting lineup, bench players and where they're ranked in key metrics and statistics...
