Coming off a close and competitive loss on the road against then No. 8 and now No. 12 Baylor 2-1 (0-0 Big 12), then No. 16 and now No. 18 Arkansas Razorbacks 2-1 (0-0 SEC) returned home to the friendly confines of Bud Walton Arena to battle the Troy Trojans 2-1 (0-0 Sun Belt). For much of the game, it was indeed a battle. During the middle of the second half, the Hogs started separating themselves from the Trojans.

Arkansas had a better night shooting behind the three-point line than against Baylor. According to ESPN, the Razorbacks converted on 10 of 23 three-point attempts, a 43.5% three-point conversion rate. As in each of its games this season, including the exhibition games, the Hogs’ defense was tenacious. Ultimately, Arkansas’s improved shooting behind the three-point line and its excellent defense led to its 65-49 win against Troy.

Although some on social media expressed concerns about the Razorbacks' slow first half, most reactions were positive by the end of the game.
