FAYETTEVILLE — Across a league loaded with strong guard play, you would be hard pressed to find a trio more integral to their team's success than Mississippi State coach Ben Howland's backcourt.
Saturday, Arkansas, fresh off back-to-back losses at South Carolina and Missouri, will be challenged to limit the SEC's third-leading scorer in Quinndary Weatherspoon, his younger brother, Nick, and Lamar Peters, who initially tested the NBA Draft waters following his sophomore season.
The three guards are averaging 40.4 points per game for the season and a touch more than 40 per night in conference play this season.
