FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas' once-promising basketball season is at a crossroads.
The Razorbacks lost 84-78 to Mississippi State on Tuesday at Bud Walton Arena to fall to 12-4 overall and 1-3 in Southeastern Conference play.
It was Arkansas' second consecutive conference home loss, marking the first time the Razorbacks have lost two straight SEC home games since coach Mike Anderson's first season in 2012. The Bulldogs snapped a 4-game losing streak in Fayetteville.
Mississippi State (11-4, 2-1) hit a flurry of 3-point attempts to take control of the game and stymie every chance of an Arkansas comeback.
