It was fun Wednesday night inside Bud Walton Arena if you were a Razorback fan. Five Hogs scored in double figures as Arkansas (8-2) cruised to a 100-60 win over Louisiana Tech (2-7).
[autotag]Taliah Scott[/autotag] led the Hogs in scoring, once again, pouring in 29 points on 12-16 (75%) shooting from the floor, including 5-8 (62.5%) from three. While Scott’s offensive performance may get most of the spotlight, [autotag]Mike Neighbors[/autotag] credited three veterans – [autotag]Makayla Daniels[/autotag], [autotag]Saylor Poffenbarger[/autotag] and [autotag]Samara Spencer[/autotag] – for their poise and focus entering the game.
“We don’t want to be that team that only plays to a certain standard based on what your opponent is ranked or something,” said Neighbors. “I also don’t try to fool our kids. I try to be as honest with them as I can. I knew that there was a potential for a letdown, but those three (Daniels, Poffenbarger and Spencer) had them ready to go at practice.”
The trio of Daniels, Poffenbarger and Spencer were able to bring that focus right into the game as they combined for 44 points – each scoring in double figures. Jenna Lawrence was the other Razorback with a double-digit scoring performance, adding 10 points of her own.
Arkansas will be back in action on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. as they host Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Coverage of that game can be found on the SEC Network.
