ADAM COLE Arkansas 72-59 on Saturday night at Neville Arena to win its first Top 25 matchup of the season.
People are also reading… Arkansas shot 33.9% from the field, which was its second-lowest mark this year. Its 3-point percentage and free throw percentage were both bottom-three performances in that mark, the former of which was its worst mark and the second its third-lowest. Both were significantly lower than Auburn’s 33.3% from 3 and 77.7% at the line.
One of the biggest points of the game, Pearl said, was Auburn’s success in the turnover battle. Coming into the night, Arkansas was No. 17 in Division I in turnover margin. But the Tigers managed one of their cleanest performances of the season from a turnover standpoint, recording just eight. Following a 2-of-12 shooting performance in Auburn’s loss to Georgia, Green came back with a vengeance Saturday, scoring a team-high 19 points while shooting 62.5% — a career-high for single-game shooting percentage. Green also had five assists, and he had as many steals as he did turnovers.
