Arkansas’ defense through four SEC games was a problem. The Razorbacks allowed 1.15 points per possession and opponents shot better than 54 percent inside the 3-point line in those contests.
Mike Anderson inserting Darious Hall into the starting lineup in place of Daryl Macon was purely a tactic to get things right on the defensive end from the jump, and it worked against Missouri.
Missouri averaged less than one point per possession in Hall’s 31 defensive trips in the win. The Tigers’ percentage on 2-point looks dwindled to 46.2 percent as well, which is a figure you’ll live with.
