FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Eric Musselman isn’t sure he has coached a better offensive rebounder in his college coaching career than Justin Smith.
Smith, the graduate transfer from Indiana, was dominant on the glass Sunday against Oral Roberts, particularly on the offensive end, and led the Razorbacks to a come-from-behind 87-76 win over the Golden Eagles in Bud Walton Arena. Musselman elected to run with the 6-7 Smith at the 5 spot for much of the second half to place more speed on the floor, and the move paid dividends.
He finished with a season-high 22 points and career-high 17 rebounds — 10 offensive.
