The last time the Arkansas basketball team didn’t make a 3-pointer in a game, the Razorbacks weren’t even in the SEC.
Until Tuesday.
Arkansas dispatched South Carolina in Bud Walton Arena for its third straight win, 75-59, and moved back to .500 in conference play after dropping its first three.
But after 11 tries from beyond the arc against the Gamecocks, the Razorbacks made zero. The game marked the first in 1,093 games that a Hogs hoops team failed to make a single 3-pointer in a game. The year was 1989. Arkansas’ streak of 1,092 games was third longest in Division I college basketball, trailing Duke and UNLV.
JD Notae attempted the last try for the Hogs on Tuesday with 4:49 left as Arkansas attempted just four from distance in the second half.
