Most Razorback fans remember the North Texas Mean Green because of the infamous fake fair-catch punt-return during last year’s football season. While Arkansas football has been anything but decent in recent years, Razorback basketball has been fairly consistent. However, consistent was not good enough. With New Coach Eric Musselman, Arkansas basketball hopes to exceed pre-season expectations which had them finishing 10th in the SEC.

Yesterday, Arkansas defeated North Texas 66-43 in showdown where Arkansas’s defense looked stellar. North Texas nearly knocked-off 25th ranked VCU earlier this year, So this match-up was better than it looked on paper. While Arkansas struggled on offense in the first half, the Razorback defense held their opponent to only 43 points for the second consecutive outing.

Guards Mason Jones and Isaiah Joe led Arkansas scoring once again with 16 points each. These two will surely carry the responsibility for most of the Razorback offense this year. Both Guards are knock-down shooters from beyond the arch and scoring machines in general. Other notable preformers from last night’s game include Adrio Bailey and Jimmy Whitt Jr..

I expect the hogs to roll past their next few opponents. However, the Razorbacks will travel to face a solid Georgia Tech team on the 25th. This game should tell us a lot about this Razorback team. Until then, I am sure the hogs will take it one game at a time and continue to grow as a team.

QOTD: Will the Razorbacks make it to the big dance come March?
