FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas basketball team missed its first 14 shots and had five turnovers to start the second half against Mississippi State.
By the time the Razorbacks finally made a basket in the second half -- on Mason Jones' drive as part of a three-point play with 11:33 left to pull Arkansas within 11 -- the Bulldogs were well on their way to a 77-67 victory on Saturday night before an announced crowd of 11,034 in Walton Arena.
Things were looking good for Arkansas when Daniel Gafford hit two free throws to give the Razorbacks a 40-32 lead with 19:47 left.
