FAYETTEVILLE — Having beaten Oral Roberts earlier this season, the Central Arkansas basketball team came into Wednesday looking to add a victory over another team that made a successful run in last season's NCAA Tournament.
While the visiting Bears (1-7) put up a fight in the first 20 minutes and trailed by just six at halftime, Arkansas (7-0) exploded in the second half and cruised to a 97-60 decision at Bud Walton Arena.
UCA coach Anthony Boone thinks it was a matter of a different mindset.
“I think our guys got a little satisfied with having a great half against a great team," Boone said.
