The Arkansas Razorbacks (11-5, 0-3 SEC) lost their third straight conference game 71-63 to the No. 8 Florida Gators (15-1, 2-1 SEC) at Bud Walton Arena on Saturday.

Points were tight for the Hogs and Gators, who entered halftime with a 28-25 lead over Arkansas. In the second half there were more points, but also more fouls. The referees called 44 fouls, resulting in a total of 55 free throws between the two teams (35 attempts for Arkansas and 30 for Florida).

Despite a foul late in the second half, striker Adou Thiero was the Hogs’ top scorer with 17 points. As a team, the Razorbacks shot a season-low 30% from the field and 18.8% from three.

Despite these poor offensive numbers, Florida was unable to take advantage, shooting just 39.1% from the field and 28.6% from three. Where the Gators took advantage was on the boards. Arkansas gave up 16 offensive rebounds and Florida capitalized with 19 second-chance points.

This is the first time since the 1988-89 season – when he played at Massachusetts – that Arkansas head coach John Calipari has started 0-3 in conference play.
