FAYETTEVILLE — Anthlon Bell never had a problem attempting 3-pointers during his first three seasons at Arkansas.
It was getting them to go in on a game-to-game basis that occasionally frustrated the Razorbacks' guard, his coaches and fans.
Bolstered this season by the confidence derived from a newfound leading role, Bell has found the consistency Arkansas (7-7, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) has long sought from the 6-foot-3 senior.
His emergence couldn't have come at a more-needed time for a team in transition following the early departures of standouts Bobby Portis and Michael Qualls following last season's SEC runner-up finish.
