FAYETTEVILLE -- Nearly one of every five shots by a University of Arkansas opponent inside the three-point line ends with the same result as an average guy asking a super model on a date.
Rejected.
The Razorbacks are blocking 19.4 percent of their opponents' two-point attempts -- 58 of 299 -- according KenPom.com, a college basketball advanced analytics website.
That's the second-highest total nationally behind Auburn's 22.4 percent, and ahead of other top-five teams in the category in Baylor (19.2), Duke (17.6) and Cincinnati (17.5).
"I always think that part of defense is defending the rim," Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said.
