Razorback fans hoping to bury this football season in the past watched with dismay as No. 14 Arkansas basketball suffered a familiar fate in its first major test of the season against No. 22 Michigan State – a one-possession loss by a score of 69-66.
The frontcourt duo of Coen Carr and Cam Ward led the way for the Spartans, combining for 33 points and 17 rebounds. Point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. finished with just 4 points, but dished out a game-high 9 assists.
The Razorbacks were ice cold on offense for most of the contest, shooting just 39.
