The Razorbacks have to get better on defense in the second half

The Hogs have been having trouble keeping their opponents from going on big runs in the second half.

In the second game of the young season against Gardner-Webb, they gave up 17 more second-half points than they did in the first half.

Against Kansas State in the Hall of Fame Classic tournament, they gave up 16 more points in the second-half than they did in the first half.

In fact, in five of the six games this season, the Razorbacks have allowed their opponents to score a lot more points than they have in the first half.

It was only the first game of the season that the Hogs buckled down and allowed their opponent to score fewer points in the second half of a game than in the first half.

Head Coach Eric Musselman will have to get his players to buckle down on defense in the second half moving forward.
