Well, it's going on everybody, Curtis Wilkerson with Hog Sports.

Com coming to you live from Blood Walton Arena, following an 86 to 68 Arkansas win over Gardner

Webb.

18 point win, hogs are off to a 2 and 0 start

successful first week good vibes right

wrong guess again because we had spicy Eric Musselman in the post game after this one because he was not pleased with his team's performance

Despite a convincing win very slow start from the razor backs very tick off, very perturbed Eric Musselman in the aftermath,

and quite frankly I don't blame him based on some of the things that we saw tonight.

So listen, you always prefer to learn lessons in a winning effort, right?

Especially early in the season's always better to win than it is to lose.

But hopefully those lessons are learned, right, and that wake-up call is received for

Arkansas because some of the things they did tonight they won't get away with when

the competition ramps up very very soon okay that's right around the corner

Arkansas got down 13 to 5 out of the gates in this one.

I thought they slept walk through most of the first half.

They looked slow, they looked soft, they looked sluggish,

they were getting beat to loose balls, getting

outworked. Gardner Webb looked like the more focused team, the more intense team.

It was really the first time we've seen this group of Razorbacks, this new roster, struggle in some of those ways and kind of come out and look like they were back on their heels a little bit as opposed to being the aggressor and the confident bunch that we've seen.

Really it wasn't until Caleb Battle hit just an incredible fall-away corner three on a

baseline in-bounds play that broke a tie with about four minutes left in the first half that kind of lit a spark under Arkansas

They finished a half on a 17 to 5 run they wound up going into the break with things under control 48 to, you're up a dozen at halftime.
