Tuscaloosa, (AL.) — Alabama’s off-court problems have dominated the news in the sports world in the last week. After barely walking out of Columbia, SC with a win on Wednesday, some thought the added attention might affect the Tide against Arkansas, too. With nothing to lose, the Hogs were dangerous going into Tuscaloosa.
Defense was a strong point early for the Hogs. They held Bama scoreless for the first 4:03 of the game. And in that same time frame, Arkansas forced 3 turnovers (3 steals), blocked two shots, and forced a 5-second violation on an inbound from the baseline.
