Summary

If there’s one thing Razorback basketball fans have already figured out about Khalif Battle, it’s that he can flat-out score. The grad transfer from Temple is off to a hot start in his Arkansas career, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering he averaged nearly 18 points a game last season. Battle’s childhood shaped who he’s become as a player, and now that he's showcasing his talents on one of the sport’s biggest stages, Battle is ready to help the Razorbacks reach their goals.
