BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Undersized but not outgunned, Arkansas was determined to take their best shots at Indiana on Sunday night.
That meant a 3-point barrage, for better or for worse. It’s why the Razorbacks fell behind by double digits when those shots weren’t falling, and also explains how Arkansas rallied to a 71-64 road win with a late surge from long range.
“We had to make 3s to survive,” said Arkansas first-year coach Eric Musselman, whose team trailed 50-39 with 16:04 remaining.
The Razorbacks field a starting lineup of four guards and a tallest player at 6-foot-6, so perimeter play is vital.
