Strong second half gives Arkansas win

FAYETTEVILLE – Khalif Battle reached the 1,000-point mark for his career on his first shot attempt – a 3-pointer at 16:07 of the first half, and finished with a season-high 25 points to lead Arkansas to a 97-83 victory over Furman Monday night at Bud Walton Arena.

Chandler Lawson and Davonte Davis also played a key role in the win. Lawson had a career-high 19 points (8-of-10 shooting) with three blocked shots. Davis nearly had a triple-double with seven points while tying career highs in both rebounds (10) and assists (8). 

For the second-straight game, Arkansas had a high assist-to-baskets made percentage, dishing out 21 assists on 37 made baskets. As a result, the Razorbacks shot 60.7% from the field, which is the fourth-best shooting percentage by the Hogs during the Eric Musselman era and fifth-best by any Musselman-coached collegiate team.
