For anyone hoping the Tigers would continue their hot streak and upset the Razorbacks on the road, the hope slipped away as the home Hogs — uplifted by the return of Isaiah Joe — bombed seven second half threes to put the Tigers away late.
Things were rolling for a while. Mizzou jumped out early to a 24-11 lead. But Arkansas went on two separate 10-0 runs, the second captured the lead which Mizzou was never able to get back. They fought, and every time it seemed the Hogs would extend things out Mizzou had an answer to keep it all within striking distance.
