Barford owns his home state

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It was another happy homecoming for Arkansas guard Jaylen Barford on Tuesday night when the Razorbacks rallied from 15 points down to beat Vanderbilt 71-70 at Memorial Gymnasium.

Barford is from Jackson, Tenn., a two-hour drive west on Interstate 40 from Nashville. He said he had about 35 family members and friends at the game.

"It's always great to win, but it feels really good to be 2-0 against your home state," he said.

Barford, who scored 15 points against Vanderbilt, had 14 in the Razorbacks' 82-78 victory over Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn.
