'It's fun to play with him': Joe sparks Hogs with 2nd half surge

FAYETTEVILLE — Sophomore guard Isaiah Joe's shooting struggles in Arkansas' win over Montana on Saturday appeared to carry over into the Razorbacks' meeting with Texas Southern on Tuesday.

Against the Grizzlies, Joe finished an uncharacteristic 2 of 10 from three-point range and failed to reach double figures in scoring for just the seventh time in 37 career games.

He got off to another slow start Tuesday, chipping in only four points on 1 of 7 shooting and 0 of 4 from distance in the first half.

Joe, though, came alive in the second half, exploding for 29 of his game-high 33 points after halftime in Arkansas' 82-51 win over Texas Southern.
