There were frustrations to be levied for Arkansas basketball. Poor Elon found itself in the unenviable position of having to take said punishment.
Arkansas ended the first half on a 17-0 run and snapped a two-game losing streak before SEC play begins next week, beating Elon, 81-55.
Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman altered his minutes distribution against the Phoenix. Arkansas looked more like it did at the beginning of the season as it played 11 players with Musselman looking for a spark.
Jaxson Robinson provided a bulk of it.
The Texas A&M transfer came off the bench and made three 3-pointers during the big run that turned a six-point Arkansas deficit to a 12-point edge at halftime. Elon went the final 6:11 of the half without a point.
Robinson scored a career-high 14 points, one of four Razorbacks in double figures. Chris Lykes led the team with 21 points, Kamani Johnson had 15 and JD Notae 14.
Arkansas led by as many as 30 points in the second half. Elon went on a 13-0 run to make the score more respectable. Michael Graham led the Phoenix with 14 points and Darius Burford added 12.
The Razorbacks (10-2) had dropped consecutive games to Oklahoma and Hofstra on the previous two Saturdays, knocking them from No. 12 in the country to unranked. They have time off at Christmas before returning to action January 29 to open SEC play at Mississippi State.
