Hogs eyeing boost in perimeter scoring

FAYETTEVILLE — More than once following a loss this season Arkansas coach Eric Musselman has remarked that the Razorbacks needed more perimeter scoring.

He hit a similar note after the team's 73-66 home loss to then-No. 10 Kentucky on Saturday, adding that one way Arkansas can counteract its size disadvantage and subsequent rebounding deficit is by significantly outscoring opponents beyond the arc.

The Razorbacks knocked down eight 3s on 24 attempts against the Wildcats, finishing plus-nine in that regard. But it wasn't enough. The bar they must reach in terms of 3s per game, especially on the road, sits somewhere between 10-12, Musselman says.
