FAYETTEVILLE — Stanley Umude was arguably the biggest bright spot for Arkansas in its 81-68 SEC-opening loss at Mississippi State last week.
One of the nation’s best scorers in previous seasons at South Dakota, he finished with a game-high 19 points on 7 of 12 shooting off the bench. Defensively, he added 2 steals, his most in a game since Dec. 1 against Central Arkansas, and 1 block.
"I was just trying to take what the defense was giving me,” Umude said. “My teammates were finding me in good spots and I was able to knock down shots that I work on.
