FAYETTEVILLE — Winners of six consecutive games since a season-opening loss to Texas entering last Saturday, Arkansas may have been riding a bit too high if you ask Mike Anderson.
Those six wins included a nailbiter against Indiana - arguably a top-25 team - at home, a 121-point explosion against Florida International and the second-best performance in terms of offensive efficiency (139.1) away from Bud Walton Arena of Anderson's tenure.
But none of that mattered to Western Kentucky, and the Hilltoppers, limping in off a loss to Missouri State just days before, snapped the young Razorbacks back to reality with a somewhat stunning 78-77 road win.
