New UA skill set a slam dunk

FAYETTEVILLE -- Guards Isaiah Joe and Mason Jones combined for 79.3% of the Arkansas Razorbacks' three-point baskets last season.

Joe hit an Arkansas record 113 three-pointers, while Jones hit 76 of the Razorbacks' total of 259.

When it came to dunks, though, Joe and Jones weren't going to win any contests.

Joe, a 6-5 sophomore, had two dunks -- against Montana State and Alabama -- among his 148 total field goals. Jones, a 6-5 junior, didn't have any dunks on his 136 field goals.

But in Eric Musselman's debut as the University of Arkansas men's basketball coach Tuesday night, Joe and Jones showed in a 91-43 victory over Rice that they can get the Walton Arena crowd going with dunks as well as three-pointers.
