FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas knew the scouting report for No. 12 Missouri. The Tigers are going to foul around the rim.
The recipe for the Hogs was to man up, play tough and not be intimidated. Unfortunately, they let just the opposite take place, with perhaps a little intimidation from the way the game was officiated thrown in for bad measure, including an ejection for coach Eric Musselman.
The Razorbacks knew to be prepared for contact and to play through it when they made it through other assorted fouls that are so frequent few officials can’t call them all.
