FAYETTEVILLE — Three simple words defined Desi Sills’ offseason: Bet on you.
He did just that.
Between the abrupt end to the 2019-20 season and now, Arkansas’ junior guard commonly used the phrase in posts on his social media accounts both before and after various training sessions. The Razorbacks’ leading returning scorer, Sills was determined to attack the summer months and eventually return to campus a well-conditioned, much-improved player.
That mentality comes from being considered an underdog by many throughout his basketball career.
“You’re going to have people that knock you and criticize you each and every day, but you have to better yourself,” Sills said.
