OXFORD, Miss. -- Arkansas coach Mike Anderson smiled, nodded his head affirmatively and used one his favorite words, "energy", to describe his Razorbacks.
"We've got some young energy," said Anderson, after the Razorbacks beat Mississippi 75-54 on Tuesday night.
"We're seeing the young players contribute, not just offensively, but with energy and it showed tonight."
Freshmen Daniel Gafford and Darious Hall highlighted a balanced Arkansas (18-8, 7-6 Southeastern Conference) attack. Gafford scored 19 points while Hall had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Anton Beard and Jaylen Barford added 13 points apiece.
