FAYETTEVILLE -- The way the University of Arkansas basketball team has played three-point defense to open this season, you would think the NCAA moved the arc back a lot farther than 1 foot, 4 3/4 inches.
The line is now at 22-1 3/4 after being at 20-9 since the 2008-09 season, but in the Razorbacks' first two games, Rice and North Texas shot more like it was 32-1 3/4.
Arkansas held Rice to 2 of 25 on three-pointers in beating the Owls 91-43 last week. North Texas hit 2 of 17 in losing to the Razorbacks 66-43 on Tuesday night.
