After defeating the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) on Friday at Bud Walton Arena 79-67, some Arkansas Razorbacks fans and media sources expressed concerns about the Hogs’ performance and where the team seemed to be headed for the rest of the season. However, those concerns were noticeably fewer after the No. 19 Arkansas Razorbacks 5-1 (0-0 SEC) demolished the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) Hawks 2-7 (0-0 MEAC) 109-35.
According to ESPN, the Hogs made 15 of 34 three-point shots and forced 19 turnovers in a 74-point slaughter of UMES. After such a win, social media reactions revealed that Arkansas’s performance pleased many.

Dominant performance. Good to see guys like Davis and Knox start to knock down shots from the perimeter. Richmond looking more confident.
Not much to take away from this one. Team stayed healthy, boosted some metrics, and built some…
