FAYETTEVILLE — Jailyn Mason was just a freshman in 2016 when Arkansas lost to Oral Roberts in a season that was by all definitions a disaster that resulted in a coaching change at the end of the season.
Two years later, Mason is just one of two players remaining from that time, and the junior played a big part in making sure there weren’t two home losses to the Golden Eagles during her career.
Mason scored 12 points Wednesday night in a 74-61 victory in Bud Walton Arena.
“We knew that it was going to be a fight, and they were going to come in here with some seniors that knew how to win, obviously, but we knew how to shut them out,” Mason said.
