FAYETTEVILLE — Following a season in which Arkansas finished outside the top 100 in defensive efficiency for the first time since 2011-12, Mike Anderson’s focus this preseason was getting back on track in that regard.
Two games is still a small sample size, but while the Razorbacks at times flutter on the offensive end (.94 points per possession, per HoopLens), their defense has been solid in a loss to Texas and an 81-58 win over UC Davis in Monday’s home opener.
"I have to make sure and encourage them, guys, this team scored 58 points," Anderson said Monday night.
