In desperate need of a spark after yet another sluggish start offensively, sophomore guard Mason Jones came through. Jones finished with a game-high 21 points in Arkansas' 73-70 win over a Texas State team that just wouldn't quit.
The junior college transfer did a lot of his damage at the line, cashing in on 10/13 attempts in the win, but it was his steal after the Razorbacks fell behind 19-6 that essentially turned the game on its head and kickstarted what would become a 17-0 run to regain the lead and control of the game.
Just a few nights removed from launching 13 3-pointers in the loss to Georgia Tech, Jones took only three 3s against the Bobcats and instead hurt Texas State off the dribble, finishing 5/7 looks from inside the arc.
