Arkansas’ play at LSU on Wednesday can be summed up by a four-second sequence in the second half of its 92-76 loss to the Tigers.
Razorbacks guard Jalen Tate, who finished with six points and a team-high four turnovers, knocked down a contested midrange jumper, a high-arching shot over the outstretched arm of Trendon Watford. LSU inbounded the ball then proceeded to add its easiest score of the night.
When Tigers guard Eric Gaines left his feet for an uncontested one-handed slam, 27 seconds remained on the shot clock. Quicker than Arkansas’ defense allowed the score, Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman called a timeout — his fourth of the game.
