FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas basketball team stopped the bleeding against Missouri.
The Razorbacks beat the Tigers 72-60 on Wednesday night in Walton Arena to end a four-game losing streak. It was Arkansas' first victory in 18 days since winning 73-71 at Texas A&M on Jan. 5.
"It's good for the psyche," Razorbacks Coach Mike Anderson. "Our guys know they're a good basketball team.
"We've come up short. We hadn't put together the 40 minutes that we talk about. I thought we were closer tonight, but it triggered because of our defense."
The Razorbacks forced 24 turnovers to match the season high by an opponent and limited their own to 14.
