FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman guard Desi Sills had seen the floor for more than 20 minutes only twice in the first 25 games of his Razorbacks career.
But when Mike Anderson turned to his bench in search of some grit and a jolt of energy as Arkansas’ play turned stale at Auburn, Sills was ready and waiting. His nine-point, three-rebound, two-assist second half against the Tigers then led to the first two starts of his career against Texas A&M and Kentucky.
In those starts, Sills averaged 11 points on 50 percent from the floor, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range.
