Live Blog: Arkansas vs. Maryland Eastern Shore
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Arkansas Razorbacks get one last chance to run short-handed and still have a legitimate chance to hold up before the schedule gets too tough to continue playing with such a small line-up because of injuries.
The biggest storyline tonight will be whether Trevon Brazile comes back from injury. It was reported last week that he wants to get minutes in before the Illinois game on Thanksgiving.
That may not be entirely up to him as Calipari might think its in the team’s best interest to keep him rested and safe from injury for a few more days to make sure he at least makes it to Kansas City fully upright. Speaking of the Illini, Illinois beat Maryland Eastern Shore by 37 last weekend.
The Hawks will leave Fayetteville to face the Hogs’ last opponent, Little Rock, on Wednesday in a quick sweep through the state.

1ST HALF
Nothing unique about the starting line-up tonight. Light crowd as expected. Students have had to go home for Thanksgiving and while children are out of school in a lot of places, parents still have to work. Games like this might be a good opportunity to honor teachers by giving unused tickets to fill up the stands.
Boogie Fland gets things going right away with a short jumper. Then the Hogs get the ball inside to Ivisic for an easy lay-up and that’s going to be unlimited points tonight if Arkansas wants to do that because the size difference is just too much. Hogs up 4-0.

Johnell Davis knocks down a three from the corner and that’s something Arkansas has really needed. Davis hasn’t been his usual self. If he starts shooting like he did at FAU, the Hogs are going to win a lot of games. For the second game in a row, the Razorbacks are out to a 7-0 lead.
Arkansas finally goes to Thiero following a turnover and his move through the lane is just unfair. The size and speed is unmatched tonight. He’s such a strong player. The Hawks break the scoreless drought with a three, but Ivisic runs down the floor and knocks down back-to-back threes just to make sure Maryland Eastern Shore knows it’s going to be a long night. Hogs up 15-3 as the games comes to a break with 15 minutes left in the half.

And there’s an official Trevon Brazile sighting as he walks out onto the floor for the first time in a while. Ivisic currently leads all scorers with eight points as the Hogs run the lead out to 21-8 with just under 12 minutes left in the half.
Tremendous ball movement by Arkansas, pass after pass, leads to a miss, but the Hogs get the rebound that swings out to Davis in that same corner again and he barely moves the net knocking down another three. This could be the big confidence builder he needs heading into that Illinois game. If Davis breaks 20 tonight, expect that line to move by Thanksgiving Day.

Washington Nationals’ first-round draft pick Chris Hacopian inked his first professional contract Wednesday, a moment made sweeter by the fact it was just a 30-minute drive from home to get to Nationals Park and put pen to paper.
The 21-year-old second baseman and 11th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft has deep ties to the D.C. region. He’s from Potomac, Maryland, and played his high school ball at Winston Churchill, where he was named the 2022 Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year and a 2022 Washington Post All-Met selection.
According to MLB.com, Hacopian grew up a Nationals fan, admiring the likes of Ian Desmond, Danny Espinosa and others. He also played his first two collegiate seasons at the University of Maryland, where his father Derek played before him, before transferring to Texas A&M for his junior season.
With the Aggies, Hacopian hit .319 with 11 home runs and 41 RBI across 42 games en route to being named First-Team All-Southeastern Conference and a Third-Team All-American by Baseball America, the Nationals said in a news release.
After inking his contract Wednesday, Hacopian donned his new jersey and ball cap and stepped onto D.C.’s beloved diamond as a part of the Nationals organization for the first time.
“That was so cool, oh my gosh. I’ve been in the stands like, 100 times, but being on the field is so different,” he said.
Hacopian was ranked 14th among MLB Draft prospects by MLB.com. The 6-foot-1-inch, 210-pound second baseman boasted one of the best bats in college baseball, according to MLB.com, with excellent control over the strike zone and feel for the barrel, along with solid pop.

Maryland confirms 5 new measles cases, bringing year’s total to 9 – WTOP News
The state said the five recently traveled together to “a location in the U.S. experiencing an active measles outbreak.”
Maryland health officials confirmed five more measles cases, all in Carroll County.
“These individuals recently traveled together to a location in the U.S. experiencing an active measles outbreak,” the state Department of Health said in a release.
The agency said others may have been exposed on the afternoon of July 13 in the emergency department waiting room at Carroll Hospital Center in Westminster.
Another measles case recently prompted warnings from health officials in Maryland, Virginia and the District. On June 17, a Maryland resident traveled through Dulles International Airport and visited a D.C. urgent care clinic.
Measles is highly contagious. It can spread through the air through coughs, breathing, and sneezes. Early symptoms can include fevers of over 101 degrees, coughs, runny noses, watery eyes and face or body rashes.
It can take up to 21 days after exposure for the first symptoms to appear, and those who are not fully vaccinated or otherwise immune to measles are especially vulnerable.
The five new measles cases in Maryland bring the state’s year-to-date total to nine. The state health department confirmed three cases in 2025, and one in each of the previous two years.
“All Marylanders should review potential exposure times, watch for symptoms, and confirm they are up to date on their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations,” the health department said.
