FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said in his press conference on Wednesday previewing Saturday's game against No. 10 Kentucky that the Razorbacks would not be able to beat the Wildcats, even on their home floor, without bringing their A-game.
He was right.
Arkansas, playing in front of a rowdy sellout crowd, shot a season-low 33.3 percent from the floor and finished 8 of 26 from 3-point range in an emotional 73-66 loss to Kentucky, which played the final eight minutes, 19 seconds without coach John Calipari.
Junior guard Mason Jones was the lone Razorbacks player to reach double figures in scoring heading into the final minute of the game.
