FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Mississippi State men’s basketball team turned the ball over 26 times and made just 15 shots in Tuesday’s 61-45 loss to Arkansas inside Bud Walton Arena.
The Bulldogs (10-9, 4-6 SEC) shot 15-for-49 (30.6%) for the game, including just 5-for-19 (26.3%) on 3-pointers. The 26 turnovers by the Bulldogs are the most by a Southeastern Conference team this season, and the Razorbacks (14-5, 6-4 SEC) capitalized on the turnovers by outscoring MSU 25-4 in points off turnovers.
Redshirt sophomore forward Tolu Smith was the lone Bulldog to score in double figures.
