Just dandy at Vandy

FAYETTEVILLE -- Payton Willis has attended numerous Arkansas basketball games in Walton Arena.

"I definitely was a Hogs fan growing up," said Willis, who starred at Fayetteville High School. "So I guess it'll feel kind of weird stepping in there and knowing I'm playing against them after cheering for them so many other times."

Willis is a freshman guard for Vanderbilt, which plays Arkansas at 7:30 tonight in Walton Arena.

"It should be fun playing in front of a lot of friends and family," he said. "I'm looking forward to it."

Willis played his first game against the Razorbacks two weeks ago when Arkansas rallied to beat the Commodores 71-70 at Memorial Gym in Nashville, Tenn.
