The Razorbacks entered the first half with a promising start, showing their mettle on the court. However, as the game progressed, it became evident that there was still room for improvement. John Calipari, no doubt, would have envisioned a more substantial lead and a higher point tally given the initial momentum. The game has been a seesaw battle since that explosive 22-7 start by Arkansas. Their athleticism truly shines through, making it seem like they could easily have extended their lead further.
