Lykes embracing role as Hogs' top reserve

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas guard JD Notae doesn’t figure to repeat as SEC Sixth Man of the Year, but a Razorback might win it again.

After Notae averaged 12.8 points in 22.5 minutes last season when he came off the bench in 31 of 32 games and was voted the SEC’s top sixth man by conference coaches, the 6-2 senior is thriving as a starter.

Notae is averaging 17.8 points, 3.4 steals and 3.2 assists in 36.2 minutes for the No. 13 Razorbacks (5-0) going into their game against Penn (3-5) at 3 p.m. today in Walton Arena.
