FAYETTEVILLE — Five observations, with video, from Arkansas' 83-78 loss at Missouri on Saturday.
— Defense cripples Hogs
This is the worst defensive team Mike Anderson has had in his 15 years as a head coach.
The numbers back it up. Arkansas allows 103.4 points per 100 possessions. None of his other teams had defensive ratings that cracked triple digits.
This was his worst defense before Saturday’s loss. Saturday was just the latest and most blatant example of the Hogs’ issues on that side of the court.
Missouri topped 80 points for the first time in SEC play after entering the game averaging a conference-worst 66.
