University of Arkansas Men's Basketball team won their 3rd game on their European tour against a young Italian team whose oldest player was 19.
This was a more physical game as the officials let them play. It was the old No blood no foul, play on system it seemed.
The Starting 5 for the Razorbacks were: Anthony Black, Nick Smith, Derrian Ford, Makhi Mitchell and Kamani Johnson.
Anthony Black hit a 3 on the first possession and the Razorbacks led throughout. It was 24-16 after the first quarter, 41-30 at halftime and with a 16-0 run in the 3rd, the Razorbacks enjoyed a 65-39 lead going into the 4th Quarter.
The 4th quarter wasn't a pretty one for the Razorbacks as the Italians outscored them 15 to 10.
The Stats will be a little misleading due to the physical nature of the game.
Jordan Walsh is the perfect example as he was just 1 of 6 from the field but all 5 of his misses were driving to the basket and with a lot of contact. No fouls were called. Below is 1 screenshot.
For the 4th Quarter, the Razorbacks sent out a 5 guard lineup basically in Black, Smith, Council, Devo and Dunning.
All 15 players played which includes the 2 walk-ons.
Here is MY Box Score for the game. You'll note I have 2 team fouls which of course isn't real. I just couldn't tell from the broadcast which Razorback was called. That seems to be par for the course with these broadcasts. I tried to get all the stats but won't guarantee I didn't miss some or score it differently from others. At times it is a judgment call as to who gets the Turnover, Steal, or even basket (Black and Johnson both tipped a ball for example in the 2nd game - I gave the basket to Black others may have given it to Johnson).
