Arkansas’s Wagner defends against a Pacific forward – photo AP News/Michael WoodsAdou Thieros 23-point performance powered No. 20 Arkansas to a 91-72 victory over Pacific on Monday night. The Razorbacks (3-1) shot a blistering 60% from the field, with Boogie Fland adding 20 points and Zvonimir Ivisic contributing 15.
Pacific (3-3) trailed by just two midway through the second half but endured an eight-minute scoring drought as Arkansas pulled away. Elijah Fisher led the Tigers with 23 points in their third straight loss.
The Razorbacks efficiency from beyond the arc (43%) and the free-throw line (80%) sealed the win, while their defense held Pacific to 32% shooting in the second half. Arkansas is finding its rhythm under first-year coach John Calipari, despite an almost entirely new roster.
