FAYETTEVILLE — Mike Neighbors didn’t panic when his team got off to a slow start against Prairie View A&M on Sunday afternoon and neither did his players.
Arkansas roared back from an early deficit with a strong second half to claim a 71-44 win in front of 1,892 at Bud Walton Arena.
The Arkansas women’s basketball coach figured his team would be rusty following final exams this week, but he was pleased with how the players bounced back in the second half.
“I didn’t say hardly a word at halftime,” Neighbors said. “They talked to themselves, fixed a lot of problems, and I thought our second half was more like the team we’ve been seeing.
