Joe shines in return as Razorbacks tame Tigers
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ coaches, players and fans welcomed star sophomore shooting guard Isaiah Joe back to the court on Saturday afternoon, and it was not a moment too soon.
Joe, whose knee surgery forced him to miss each contest during the team’s five-game losing streak, scored a game-high 21 points to lead the Razorbacks (17-10, 5-9 SEC) over Missouri 78-68 at Bud Walton Arena.
“It was good being back,” Joe said after playing over 37 minutes. “I think they were going to monitor my minutes, but once I got in the flow of the game I felt great out there. It just felt good to be back out there with my brothers, my teammates.”
