FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) _ Moses Kingsley emerged from the shadow of former

teammate Bobby Portis to become one of the top players in the Southeastern

Conference last season.



This year, the Arkansas center _ the preseason SEC Player of the Year _ has

struggled to adapt to his new role as one of many offensive options for the

rebuilt Razorbacks (9-1).



Kingsley’s offensive struggles haven’t slowed a surging Arkansas, which won its

sixth straight game with a 77-74 victory over Texas on Saturday. However, they

have left many wondering if the 6-foot-10 Nigerian has regressed or if he’s

simply finding his way with new teammates.



After averaging 15.9 points per game last season, Kingsley is averaging only

10.7 per game this season. His shooting percentage has also dropped from 54.8

percent last season to 48.7 this year.
