Hot-handed Hogs brush off FT gap

FAYETTEVILLE -- There was some weird math Saturday in Walton Arena.

The visiting Minnesota Golden Gophers shot 24 more free throws than the Razorbacks.

That's not supposed to add up to a victory for the home team, but the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville shot so well from the field the free-throw differential didn't matter.

The Razorbacks beat the No. 14 Gophers 95-79 before an announced crowd of 17,583 by hitting 57.4 percent (39 of 68) of their shots, including 10 of 21 three-pointers.

Arkansas hit 7 of 13 free throws compared to 24 of 37 for Minnesota.
