FAYETTEVILLE — Little Rock native Whitley Rogers had her first big-time moment as a Razorback on Monday.
With Arkansas leading Kansas City 82-77 with less than two minutes to play, Rogers got an open look at a three on the right wing and buried it, sinking what was essentially the kill shot in the Razorbacks’ 89-81 win over the Roos.
“I’ve seen her do it a lot, so I expect nothing [less] from her,” head coach Kelsi Musick said. “If anyone got me in action over there, I was probably in a deep fist pump, going crazy. I’ve seen Whitley do that. So, I have the utmost confidence when she takes those shots because I’ve seen her do it in high school. I’ve seen her do it in summer ball, and she’s going to do it for a long time on this on this court.”
BANG!

Upon rewatch, you can Musick nervously stomping down the sideline as Rogers’ shot was in the air and celebrate as soon as it dropped through the net…
