FAYETTEVILLE — Some thoughts following Arkansas' 65-63 win over Missouri:
Arkansas' 2-man game
When Arkansas needed a bucket late in regulation against Tennessee, Mike Anderson elected to go to Daryl Macon and Daniel Gafford in a pick-and-roll situation. It ended in a Gafford dunk.
Saturday, with the game tied and in need of a score, Anderson went to Macon and Gafford. Again, it resulted in a Gafford slam to give Arkansas a lead.
Go with what's working for you.
The Razorbacks' offense is markedly better when Gafford is on the floor and involved. In the loss to LSU on Wednesday we didn't see a whole lot of Gafford setting ballscreens on the perimeter, and Arkansas settled for a lot of jumpers.
