FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas senior Manny Watkins broke his career-long drought from three-point range in the first half, connecting on a long ball from the right wing at the 14:43 mark.
Watkins, who had been 0 for 8 from beyond the arc, clearly amused his teammates with his three-pointer.
"Is that his first this season or the first of his career?" Daryl Macon asked during interviews. "Career? Oh my gosh, it's big. That's big. I think you all know Manny's role.
"That was very exciting to us. I was speechless when it went in."
Macon was asked which was more surprising, a tip-in by guard Dusty Hannahs or Watkins' rare three-pointer.
