Arkansas basketball’s mini winning streak may have been snapped against Alabama, but perhaps it didn’t entirely lose the momentum it had been building of late.
After trailing by as many as 18 points midway through the second half, the Hogs rallied to cut the deficit to only two points with under 10 seconds remaining before ultimately falling short, 85-81, to the current No. 2 team in the country.
While a loss is never a good thing – and moral victories are generally frowned upon – the loss doesn’t hold much weight in the big picture as Arkansas still focuses on getting into the NCAA Tournament.
