Arkansas assistant coach David Patrick watched the team improve to 3-0, as Moses Moody had a game-high 24 points and a game-high nine rebounds to lead Arkansas to a 72-60 victory over UT Arlington at Bud Walton Arena.
The game was close most of the first half, but Arkansas were able to pull away late to lead by 11 (44-33) at the break. A 17-7 Arkansas run to start the second half – thanks to six points from Moody and four from Justin Smith – gave Arkansas an 18-point cushion and UTA never threatened the rest of the way.
Arkansas shot the ball well in the first half (46.9% overall and 42.9% from 3-point range) but was just 10-of-30 from the field, including 1-of-7 from beyond the arc, in the second half.
