FAYETTEVILLE -- Usually when his Razorbacks struggle, Mike Anderson harps on defense.
Not this time. Not these last three games, 78-77 and 69-65 losses at Walton Arena in Fayetteville to Western Kentucky sandwiching a far more difficult than the 79-67 final score victory over Texas-San Antonio at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock.
Particularly against Georgia Tech, these young Razorbacks lived up to their billing as better defensively than last season's squad graduating six seniors.
"Defensively we held them to 69 points," Anderson said.
And they stung the Yellow Jackets, extracting 20 Georgia Tech turnovers.
