FAYETTEVILLE — There were scattered boos at the final horn at Walton Arena on Tuesday, but it had nothing to do with the Arkansas Razorbacks’ third win in a row, a comfortable 75-59 decision over South Carolina.
A segment of University of Arkansas fans were acutely aware a historic streak 33 years in the making met its unceremonious end.
For the first time since a 99-92 win at Texas on Jan. 7, 1989, the Razorbacks failed to make a three-point shot. Arkansas shot 0 for 11 from three-point range to end the streak of 1,092 consecutive games, the third-longest streak in the country behind only UNLV and Duke.
