FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas women’s basketball team endured another poor shooting first half, but the Razorbacks lit it up in the final two quarters to put an exclamation mark on their nonconference schedule.
The Razorbacks responded with a 20-0 third-quarter run after Jackson State took the lead to start the second half en route to a 76-57 win over the Lady Tigers on Sunday afternoon in Bud Walton Arena.
Junior transfer Alexis Tolefree sparked the second half barrage, hitting a trio of 3-pointers in the run and finishing with a team-high 17 points. The Conway native said the team’s defensive intensity helped fuel the scoring barrage after Arkansas was an icy 2 of 21 from 3-point range in the first half.
