FAYETTEVILLE — Vanderbilt, which is struggling with injuries and the SEC’s longest losing streak in conference play, managed to pull off a feat no other team could this season against Arkansas.
The Commodores held both Mason Jones and Isaiah Joe, two of the top four scorers in the SEC, scoreless in the opening half.
Joe shot 0 for 5, including 0 for 4 from three-point range, in the opening half. Jones went 0 for 3, all from three-point range.
Both had endured scoreless halves this season, but not in the same one.
Jones had gone scoreless in the first half in the Hogs’ 82-51 win over Texas Southern on Nov.
