For the first time since Nolan Richardson’s first season, Arkansas basketball is 0-5 in conference play.
Any road game is going to be a tall task to win in the SEC, but the Razorbacks did themselves no favors by allowing an 18-0 run in the opening minutes of what proved to be an 18-point win for Missouri on Saturday.
The last time Arkansas lost its first five conference games was 1985-86, when it was a member of the Southwest Conference. Richardson’s squad won its sixth game, beating Rice on the road, before finishing the season with a 12-16 record that included a 4-12 mark in the SWC.
