Takeaways from Arkansas' win over UTSA
FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks (7-2, 0-0 SEC) picked up their second win of the week with a 75-60 victory over the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners (3-5, 0-0 AAC) on Saturday.
It was another tale of two halves for the Razorbacks, who trailed 32-27 at halftime. As a team, Arkansas was shooting just 38.5% from the field and committed eight turnovers in the first half.
In the final 20 minutes, however, the script was flipped. Arkansas boosted the defensive intensity and forced seven turnovers that led to transition buckets for the Hogs.
Arkansas was without center Zvonimir Ivisic because of an ankle injury he sustained earlier in the week, but Jonas Aidoo got his first start and contributed well. He finished the game with eight points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes.
Adou Thiero rebounded from a rough performance against Miami with a 26-point, 10-rebound performance that sparked the Razorbacks’ comeback in the second half. He was everywhere on the floor and was also efficient in the free throw department as he hit 10 of his 13 from the charity stripe.
