Gafford hot from the tip

COLUMBIA, Mo. — University of Arkansas forward Daniel Gafford scored the Razorbacks’ first 10 points covering the first 7:48 of game action Tuesday in a 79-78 loss to Missouri.

Gafford opened with 5 of 6 shooting while the rest of the team was 0 for 9 until Mason Jones connected on a 15-footer from straightaway as the 12:12 mark.

The 6-11 Gafford hit a short hook shot 14 seconds after winning the opening tip.

His next two shots were dunks, the first on a clever feed from the baseline by Jalen Harris after Adrio Bailey hit him with a backdoor cut.
