After trailing by seven points at halftime, Arkansas got a spark from new point-guard Keyon Menifield in a furious second-half comeback, en route to an 83-73 victory at Bud Walton Arena.
Fans expressed their desire to see more improvement from the team, but were also gracious for the win. The Razorbacks have already lost to one mid-major school at home this season – a 78-72 defeat at the hands of UNC-Greensboro on Nov. 17.
Arkansas offered many highlights in the game, from dunks to three-point bombs, but it was the outstanding play of Menifield and junior Tramon Mark that paved the way to triumph.
Menifield controlled the tempo of the game, on both ends of the court, and finished with 11 points, six rebounds and two assists. Mark, the team’s leading scorer this season, tallied a double-double, with 25 points and 11 rebounds.
