FAYETTEVILLE — Mike Neighbors admitted his team had its confidence shaken after a recent stretch of losses, but Thursday was a perfect remedy.
The high-octane University of Arkansas offense shredded one of the top defenses in the country statistically to hand No. 3 Connecticut a 90-87 defeat at sold-out Walton Arena.
“We were a little bit faster [Thursday],” said Neighbors, whose team had lost four of its last five, all to teams ranked in the Top 25. “I know we’ve been slower, but not many put 90 on UConn, historically. So I think we got back to being a little better version of ourselves.
