FAYETTEVILLE — There was plenty of emphasis placed on Arkansas' final possession in its 79-77 loss to South Carolina on Wednesday in Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman's postgame press conference.
With 7.5 seconds remaining and Arkansas needing a bucket to knot the score, Musselman noted a couple of times that the plan was for junior guard Mason Jones, who turned in one of his most efficient nights scoring the ball, to get an isolation in the middle of the floor with an option to create.
The Gamecocks countered Arkansas by denying Jones at the top of the key after he entered the ball to Desi Sills in the right corner.
