FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas guard Daryl Macon was held to eight points against Mississippi State, less than half his scoring average (17.3) in SEC play going into the game.
That prompted a question to Razorbacks Coach Mike Anderson about whether Macon -- who hit 3 of 7 shots and his only free throw -- needed to be more aggressive on offense.
"I want him to play some defense," Anderson said. "I want him to get better defensively."
Improving defensively likely has been Anderson's message to all of his players after Mississippi State's 84-78 victory over Arkansas on Tuesday night in Walton Arena.
