I agree, the defense has to improve TREMENDOUSLY, but to provide context.. The kid was instructed not to foul, if the opposing makes a play “let him go”. Arkansas was down to a 5/6 man rotation when Karter Knox and DJ Wagner (he returned) went down in February. This to say, defense was not a priority because it wasn’t one for his head coach.
