FAYETTEVILLE — No team did a better job of containing Oral Roberts guard Max Abmas this season than the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Abmas, the nation’s leading scorer averaging 24.5 points per game, scored 11 when the University of Arkansas beat Oral Roberts 87-76 on Dec. 20 at Walton Arena.
It was Abmas’ second-lowest scoring game of the season. But when he had eight points in a 111-53 victory over Southwestern Christian, the 6-1 sophomore played only nine minutes and hit 3 of 4 shots, including 1-2 of three-pointers, and made his only free-throw attempt.
Against Arkansas, Abmas shot 4 of 11 from the field, including 1 of 6 on three-pointers, and hit 2 of 3 free throws in 33 minutes.
