Talk about answering the bell. The Razorbacks just completely dismantled Mississippi State at Bud Walton Arena last night, 78-58. 22 points and five three-pointers from Sonny Weems led the way, with Patrick Beverley chipping in 19 points and 10 boards, another double-double. The win pulled Arkansas within one game of Mississippi State in the SEC West race.
This was the third straight win for the Hogs against the Bulldogs dating back to last year. On Saturday Arkansas plays host to Florida while MSU is home for Tennessee, so there's definitely a chance we could be all knotted up by the end of business on Saturday.
The absence of Charles Thomas didn't prove nearly as important as some thought it would going in, thanks largely to Mike Washington and Vincent Hunter filling the void. And UA's defense was tremendous, forcing 22 turnovers by the Bulldogs against just 5 assists.
Arkansas fans can only hope for more of the same intensity and effort in 48 hours.
