AUSTIN, Texas — Arkansas forward Makhi Mitchell provided the Razorbacks with some fairly solid run in the first half of their 90-60 exhibition loss to Texas on Saturday.
Outside of star freshman guard Nick Smith, the Rhode Island transfer was among Arkansas’ few sources of offense prior to halftime. The Razorbacks trailed 40-30 at halftime, and the pair combined for 18 points.
Mitchell added 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting, and 3 rebounds and 1 block in his 11 first-half minutes. He was especially good for a stretch as the roll man in Arkansas’ ball-screen actions, flashing sound footwork and a spin move that resulted in a score.
