A win is a win.
On a night defined by offensive struggles from both teams, Arkansas was able to lean on their defense and rebounding to grind out a dramatic double-overtime win over Stanford, 77-74, in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis. With the win, the Hogs move on and face Memphis tomorrow in the second round.
In last Friday’s loss to UNC-Greensboro, the Hogs struggled to get anything going offensively until the second half. However, they also failed to get stops in crucial moments, end possessions with rebounds and create second chances on the offensive glass.
On Wednesday night, the Arkansas offense was really the only issue as the Hogs shot 30.3% on field goal attempts for the entire game. That includes going 0-7 from the field during the first overtime period.
Let’s take a closer look at how the Razorbacks overcame an abysmal shooting performance to beat Stanford and move on in the [autotag]Battle 4 Atlantis[/autotag] Tournament.
