The sophomore forward showed his tremendous basketball skills on both sides of the court to hand Arkansas a famous win over Duke. The talented No.2 stepped in and delivered for head coach Eric Musselman in the absence of their leading scorer, Tramon Mark. He finished the night on a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds during his 38 minutes on the court. Trevon made a strong statement with this performance following his scoreless outing in Arkansas’ loss against the Tar Heels.
Brazile made significant improvements to his game as he was 6-of-9 in shooting. In addition to this, he successfully landed 4 out of his 7 shots from the three-point range. Apparently, one of his 3-pointers came from the left wing giving the Razorbacks a 12-point lead with just 2:16 left for the final buzzer. Trevon Brazile made a terrific comeback after his embarrassing and clueless night in the Bahamas. Furthermore, this is the first time this season that he has gone past 14 points in a game.

Trevon on Track
The 6’10” forward made a promising start to his sophomore campaign in the 2022-23 season. He had an impressive average of 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in his 9 games for the Razorbacks. Unfortunately, a torn ACL forced him out of action and he wasn’t able to contribute much to the team. Rehabbing his way, the power forward is having an admirable season.
In the 9 games so far, he is averaging 11.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Furthermore, he carries an impressive field goal percentage of 49.1.
