Impact Acuff had his third double-double and first in conference play. He was coming off a one-assist game in the loss to Auburn on Saturday. While he has been proficient from the field against SEC opponents (47.6 percent), Acuff has struggled from long range. He has made just 6-of-21 (28.6 percent) of his 3-pointers in his last four games. The freshman is second in the SEC with 6.3 assists.

Nick Pringle - Scores 15 against former team Pringle contributed 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 108-74 win over South Carolina.

Impact Pringle started 32 games for the Gamecocks last season and averaged 9.5 points and 6.3 rebounds. His numbers have been down after joining the Razorbacks, but he was able to burn his former team in the blowout win. Pringle scored in double digits for just the third time this season.

Karter Knox - Suffers hip injury Saturday Knox suffered a hip injury in Arkansas' 95-73 loss to Auburn on Saturday, according to Kyle Sutherland of On3.com.

Impact Knox exited the Razorbacks' 95-73 loss to Auburn with a reported hip injury, leaving the game at the 4:30 mark of the first half and not returning the rest of the way. Knox finished the game with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound in seven minutes. Head coach John Calipari said the injury occurred when an opposing player fell on him, and its severity remains to be seen. As things stand now, it's unclear if Knox will be able to play against South Carolina on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Impact Ewin has been close to double-doubles previously this season, but finished with nine rebounds three times. The 6-10 senior has provided 12.2 points on 51.7 percent from the field and 7.6 rebounds in his last five games. He hit his second 3-pointer of the season (on two attempts).

Impact Thomas has been shooting well in SEC play in the early going. Through three games, he has provided 16.0 points on 46.0 percent from the field and 50.0 percent on 3-pointers. The loss to the Tigers was the first for Arkansas against an unranked opponent. Thomas and the Razorbacks will host South Carolina on Wednesday.

No. 15 Arkansas uses balanced scoring to beat Mississippi 94-87 in SEC matchup

Darius Acuff, Jr. had 26 points and nine assists, and No. 15 Arkansas got double-figure scoring from five players in a 94-87 win over Mississippi on Wednesday night

JANUARY 8 • Associated Press

Darius Acuff Jr. - Dials up 26 points, nine assists Acuff finished Wednesday's 94-87 victory over Ole Miss with 26 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes.

Impact Acuff's wonderful freshman campaign continues. He has forced his way to the free throw line at least nine times in three of his last four games. Even when his shot isn't falling, he is able to score well. The 6-3 freshman's playmaking is consistent and he has provided 7.8 assists over his last eight games. Acuff is averaging 19.5 points on 50.0 percent from the field and 6.0 assists.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Trevon Brazile - Puts up 18 points, six boards Brazile closed Wednesday's 94-87 victory over Ole Miss with 18 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact Brazile had been held to single-digit scoring in the three previous games and had missed all eight of his 3-point attempts in that span. When he scores well, he usually knocks down shots from the perimeter. The 6-10 senior is hitting 42.6 percent of his 3-pointers, but those shots tend to come in bunches. The Razorbacks take on Auburn on Saturday. Brazile went scoreless in nine minutes in the loss to the Tigers last season.

Acuff scores 29 points to lead No. 18 Arkansas to a 86-75 win over No. 19 Tennessee

Freshman Darius Acuff Jr. scored a career-high 29 points, including a key 3-pointer with just over two minutes left in the second half, to help No. 18 Arkansas to an 86-75 win over...

JANUARY 3 • Associated Press

Darius Acuff Jr. - Sets career high with 29 points Acuff accumulated 29 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 86-75 win over Tennessee.

Impact There are many fine freshmen in the SEC, but Acuff may be the best. He has scored consistently and handled playmaking for the Razorbacks. The guard's four assists were his lowest total since Nov. 21. He has scored 20 points or in four of his last five games and hit more than half of his shots in six straight games. Acuff is providing 19.5 points on 50.0 percent from the field with 6.0 assists.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Karter Knox - Scores 11, grabs seven boards Knox registered 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 86-75 victory over Tennessee.

Impact Knox scored in double digits for the first time in three games. He is an inconsistent scorer and has only been able to string games of 10 points or more together once this season. Maybe he will break that streak Wednesday against Ole Miss. Knox had 14 points and four assists in the SEC tournament loss to the Rebels last season.
