FAYETTEVILLE — Five observations, with video, from Arkansas' 87-68 win over Alabama.
— Pressure keys everything
The 87 points Arkansas scored were the most Alabama has allowed this season. The Crimson Tide entered the game second in SEC play with a 94.6 defensive rating. The Hogs put together a stellar 117.6 offensive rating on Wednesday.
The offense was good, but it all started with the Razorbacks’ performance on the other end of the court. The Hogs played with a newfound intensity on defense after an embarrassing 99-71 loss at Oklahoma State on Saturday. Their pressure made Alabama uncomfortable all game.
