Arkansas shot 3-pointers better after horrid start but couldn't contain Baylor transfer
Worst thing I saw during Arkansas' 72-67 loss to No. 8 Baylor — besides the 0-for-9 start for the Razorbacks on 3-point shots —‚ was Jonas Aidoo limping slightly when he came out of the game.
The 6-foot-11 Aidoo was chosen first team All SEC and second team last season. He was also first team on the SEC All Defensive unit and ranked third in the league in blocked shots and fourth in rebounds. "He’s certainly getting better," Arkansas assistant coach Chuck Martin said in a press conference Tuesday. "We’re excited about the possibility of him returning soon."
What can Arkansas fans expect if he ever gets healthy? Maybe the guy who could've stopped, or at least slowed down, Baylor behemoth Norchad Omier, who had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Arkansas had no answer for the burly forward who made 7 of 10 shots while dominating offensively at times. Omier powered his way through and around Arkansas big men in a difference-making performance at Dallas' American Airlines Center Saturday. He won't be the only strong big man to do that against 7-2 Zvonimir Ivišić and 6-10 Trevon Brazile, both decent shot blockers but not the physically strongest paint protectors.
