Why Arkansas Lost: Arkansas went nearly ten minutes without a field goal during a stretch that spanned the first and second halves. This went beyond the Razorbacks (17-11, 5-8) not scoring. They committed turnovers that led to easy Alabama baskets and allowed the Crimson Tide (18-9, 7-6) to turn what had once been a 12-point deficit into an easy victory. Arkansas gave up 21 points off 18 turnovers and played poor defense, particularly in stopping dribble penetration. Alabama outscored Arkansas 33-8 during its run. The Razorbacks have now dropped five of their last six games. read more >
