NORTH LITTLE ROCK — The current state of Arkansas basketball can be best summed up by one response from Eric Musselman following the Razorbacks’ stunning 89-81 loss to Hofstra on Saturday at Simmons Bank Arena.
No. 24 Arkansas’ third-year coach was asked for the single biggest hurdle his team has to overcome to reverse course after a second consecutive loss — one that will knock it from all top 25 polls for the foreseeable future. Musselman quickly rattled off six things.
“Leadership, toughness, competitiveness, shooting, defending the ball from three, defending it off the bounce,” he said.
