For the first time this season, Arkansas fully dismantled a mid-major opponent on its home court Monday night, beating Maryland-Eastern Shore by 74. They had previously won each of their prior four mid-major matchups by an average of 14.8 points per game, though none came without struggles at one point or another.
Most kept the game closer than expected, some even pushing the Hogs to only a single-digit lead late in the game, but neither was the case against Maryland-Eastern Shore – the worst team the Hogs will play this season.
Arkansas dominated this game from start to finish, jumping out to a 9-0 lead before the Hawks ever scored, tallying a 28-0 run and finishing with what was tied for the third-largest margin of victory in school history.
