Hogs’ best defense of season stifles LSU in big win
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas had its best defensive performance of the year — and one of its best overall — in a 60-40 victory over LSU Tuesday night at Bud Walton Arena.
The Razorbacks were led by Davonte Davis (16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and seven rebounds), Anthony Black (14 points, seven rebounds and three steals), Ricky Council IV (10 points, six rebounds and career-high tying seven assists) and Makhi Mitchell (10 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots).
The following is a breakdown of the defensive dominance:
• Arkansas held LSU to 40 points, which ties for the 10th lowest by any opponent in the modern era (1970-71) and the second-fewest in an SEC game.
• Arkansas held LSU to 25.9% shooting (14-of-54), which is the fifth lowest by an SEC opponent and lowest since holding Vanderbilt to a record-low in SEC games of 25% (14-of-56) on Feb. 10, 2018.
• No LSU player scored in double digits.
• LSU was just 3-of-25 (12%) from the field in the first half.
• The 14 points ties for the sixth-lowest point total by an opponent in the shot clock era. The 38 points by Arkansas is the sixth-best, first half total this season.
• The 14 points are the third lowest in a half by an SEC opponent behind 9 by Miss State (2/7/15) and 11 by Vandy (1/12/13).
• The 24-point halftime lead ties for the sixth-largest halftime advantage in an SEC game.
The solid Razorback defense helped Arkansas outscore LSU 18-4 on points off turnovers and 15-7 on fastbreak points.
Adam Miller and KJ Williams led LSU with nine points, but the pair was just 5-of-22 from the field.
Arkansas will step out of league play to face No. 17 Baylor in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge on Saturday (Jan. 28). The game will be played in Waco, Texas. Tipoff is set for 3 pm (CT) and the game will be televised by ESPN.
FIRST HALF: Arkansas 38, LSU 14
• Arkansas had a 15-0 run to take a 30-11 lead. The run was second-best run total for the season behind 17-0 runs versus Louisville and Troy.
• Arkansas had 10 assists on 15 made baskets and only committed five turnovers. LSU committed 10 turnovers.
• Arkansas was 4-of-7 from 3-point range and LSU was 0-of-3.
• Devo Davis led Arkansas with 12 points and Anthony Black had 10 points.
SECOND HALF Arkansas 22, LSU 26
• LSU started the second half on a 15-2 run to make the score (40-29). Arkansas was just 1-of-8 from the field to start the half while LSU made 7 of its first 12.
• Davonte Davis called a timeout after the opening LSU run to allow the Razorbacks to regroup.
• LSU got to within 11 on two other occasions before the Razorbacks used an 11-1 run to push the lead back to 21 with 4:42 left.
Game Notes
• Arkansas wore all pink uniforms with “ARKANSAS” on the front as part of Coaches vs Cancer Suits and Sneakers week. It was the first time Arkansas had worn pink uniforms.
• Arkansas’ starting lineup was Anthony Black – Davonte Davis – Ricky Council – Jordan Walsh – Makhi Mitchell. This is the 10th and the most common starting lineup this season.
• Arkansas won the tip.
• Devo Davis scored the first points of the game at 18:18.
• Kamani Johnson was the first Razorback sub.
• Jalen Graham only had six points, but they were the only six Razorback points off the bench. All three of his baskets were dunks. He was +20 in 16:59 played.
• Arkansas only had 20 alley-oops heading into the game, but just one in SEC play. The Razorbacks had three alley-oops in the win over LSU.
• Eric Musselman is 9-1 as Arkansas coach when avenging a loss. The only time a team beat Arkansas the first time and Coach Muss did not get a win in the second meeting of the year was in his first year with the Hogs when Mississippi State tipped in a game-winner at the buzzer for a one-point win.
• Arkansas eclipsed 8,000,000 in tickets sold in this the 30th year of Bud Walton Arena.
• Arkansas is 42-35 all-time versus LSU, including an impressive 23-8 mark in games played in Fayetteville.
Hogs complete coaching staff adding Wilson
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Head Coach Sam Pittman has named Deron Wilson the Razorbacks’ secondary coach.
Wilson heads to Arkansas after serving one season at Florida as a quality control analyst working with the Gators’ cornerbacks.
In his lone season in The Swamp, Wilson worked alongside cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond to improve sophomores Jaydon Hill and Jalen Kimber, who each intercepted passes last season. Hill led the Gators with two interceptions, including a pick-six against Missouri.
Prior to joining the staff at Florida, Wilson spent two seasons as the defensive coordinator at McNeese (2020-21). He was named the Cowboys’ interim defensive coordinator a week prior to the spring season opener against Tarleton State.
The Pokes played seven games in the spring of 2021 following the canceled 2020 season due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
Wilson’s secondary improved during the spring season, allowing 35 fewer yards passing compared to 2019. The defense improved even more during the Cowboys’ fall 2021 season, giving up fewer points per game, rushing yards per game, passing yards per game and points per game.
Defensive lineman Isaiah Chambers was named the Southland Conference’s Defensive Player of the Year and joined defensive lineman Mason Kinsey, linebacker Kordell Williams and defensive back Andre Sam as the Cowboys placed four defenders on the All-Southland Conference first team.
Wilson coached at Texas-San Antonio for four seasons, spending the final two as the Roadrunners’ cornerbacks coach after starting as a graduate assistant. In Wilson’s first season leading the unit, the Roadrunners’ cornerbacks added to the team’s
19 turnovers with seven of the team’s nine interceptions. Cassius Grady matched the UTSA single-season record with four interceptions and finished with 45 tackles.
Clayton Johnson picked off a pair of passes despite missing the final five games while Teddrick McGhee added one interception despite playing in just six games.
UTSA boasted one of the nation’s top defenses in 2017, as the Roadrunners led Conference USA in seven different statistical categories and ranked in the Top 10 among all Football Bowl Subdivision teams in five.
UTSA held eight of its 11 opponents to under 300 yards of total offense, including a school-record 149 yards in a 51-17 win over Southern, and five teams to less than 100 yards rushing, highlighted by a program-record 37 yards at Texas State in a 44-14 win.
During his time as a graduate assistant, Wilson helped tutor a secondary that saw three players — Michael Egwuagu, Nate Gaines and Jordan Moore — earn All-Conference USA honors as the Roadrunners earned bowl eligibility into back-to-back seasons.
Wilson was a standout cornerback at Southern Miss from 2010-12 and a Jim Thorpe Award Preseason Watch List honoree before an ankle injury sidelined him for his senior season in 2013.
He helped lead the Golden Eagles to consecutive bowl games while starting 39 straight games. He finished his career with 171 tackles and eight interceptions, including four returned for touchdowns.
He was a Phil Steele Freshman All-American and earned C-USA All-Freshman Team and second-team all-conference accolades in 2010 after registering 35 tackles, three interceptions, 12 pass breakups, one blocked punt and a pair of defensive scores.
As a sophomore, he helped the Golden Eagles to a C-USA title making 75 tackles with four interceptions and a team-best 17 passes defended to earn second-team all-league honors from Phil Steele.
Wilson earned a degree in interdisciplinary studies from Southern Miss in May 2013.
The New Orleans, La. native starred at O. Perry Walker HS earning all-district honors three times and all-area twice while being ranked as the No. 44 player in the state as a senior in 2008.
He is engaged to Paige Alexander and has twin children — a son, Deron Kadeem Wilson II, and a daughter, Dakota Marie Wilson.
