Put back renders Sills’ heroics a footnote

Desi Sills was almost an unsung hero.

Instead, the University of Arkansas got bit in the same place it has so many times this season — in the paint.

With a second to play and the Razorbacks leading 77-76, Mississippi State’s Tyson Carter missed, but 6-11 Abdul Ado got his only field goal of the day on a tip-in with 0.6 seconds on the clock to give the visitors a sweep of the Razorbacks this season.

State had led more than 28 minutes and was ahead 56-46 with 13:18 to play when Sills, a sophomore from Jonesboro, awakened.
