Arkansas struggles on offense and rebounding losing to Florida 71-63. This loss makes them 0-3 in conference play and puts them on a three-games losing streak.
The Hogs started the game 5 of 7 from the floor, taking an 11-2 lead. This run took just over three minutes and Bud Walton was buzzing. This didn't last long as the offense went cold, and mistakes started to pile up. They went 4-24 the rest of the first half and were outrebounded by nine boards.
The second half wasn't much better shooting 31% from the floor. They were able to draw fouls and get to the free-throw line, which kept them in the game, but were unable to capitalize on other opportunities.
Offensive execution was their kryptonite in this game. They were able to get into the paint often, which typically can lead to good looks. However, poor shot selection and awareness lead to missed layups and blocked shots. They went 11-34 in the paint, which is a very low mark in that area of the floor.
The Hogs look to get back on track on January 14th taking on LSU in Baton Rouge. They are also 0-3 in conference play and 11-5 on the season.
