Hogs say threes will fly this year

FAYETTEVILLE -- Don't be surprised if University of Arkansas sophomore guard Isaiah Joe breaks his own school record set last season with 113 three-point baskets.

Joe and other Razorbacks figure to take plenty of three-pointers with Arkansas having an undersized lineup.

The tallest starter for Arkansas (1-0) in tonight's game against North Texas (1-1) in Walton Arena will be 6-6 senior Adrio Bailey.

With 6-8 sophomore Reggie Chaney suspended indefinitely, the other big men in the Razorbacks' rotation are 6-7 senior Jeantal Cylla and 6-8 sophomore Ethan Henderson.

"Stylistically, the three-ball is something that's going to be extremely important to us," Coach Eric Musselman said after Arkansas hit 13 of 35 three-pointers in beating the University of Arkansas at Little Rock 79-64 in an exhibition opener last month.
