Battle hits milestone, leads Arkansas over Furman
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Khalif Battle finished with 25 points to top 1,000 for his career and Arkansas beat Furman 97-83 on Monday night.
Battle, who needed three points to reach the milestone, came off the bench to sink 7 of 11 shots with four 3-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws for the Razorbacks (6-3). Battle transferred to Arkansas after playing for Butler his freshman year and for Temple the last three seasons.
Chandler Lawson scored 19 on 8-for-10 shooting with a 3-pointer for Arkansas. Trevon Brazile scored 13 and Davonte Davis pitched in with 10 rebounds and eight assists to go with seven points. Freshman Layden Blocker totaled nine points, five rebounds and five assists off the bench.
JP Pegues had 21 points to lead the Paladins (4-5). Pegues was 10 for 10 at the free-throws line, including five in a row after he was fouled on a 3-point attempt and Arkansas coach Eric Musselman was hit with a technical foul with 1:38 left to play. That pulled Furman within 10 points. Pegues added a four-point play with 1:12 remaining to get the Paladins within 88-81, but they would get no closer.
Alex Williams made 5 of 9 from distance and scored 20 for Furman. Carter Whitt had 14 points, four rebounds and three steals. Garrett Hien scored 10 with five rebounds.
Ten different players scored for Arkansas in the first half. The bench accounted for 19 points to help the Razorbacks take a 40-35 lead at halftime. Williams hit four 3-pointers and scored 15 to keep Furman close.
Arkansas came in averaging 29 free throws — fifth most in the country — and 20 makes, 11th best. The Razorbacks sank 15 of 21 against the Paladins.
Lawson and Blocker both had three of Arkansas’ 10 blocked shots in the first-ever meeting between the schools. The Razorbacks entered play averaging 6.8 per game, second most in the country.
Arkansas will host No. 19 Oklahoma on Saturday. Furman returns home to play Bob Jones University on Saturday.

The No. 19 Ole Miss Rebels are coming off a home win over the Oklahoma Sooners, but the road doesn’t get any easier this week with a trip to face the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville.
Ole Miss has only won twice all-time in Fayetteville, but they will look to buck that trend this weekend to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive and earn a winning record in SEC play. Now, the Rebels and Hogs know when they will kick off and what television channel will carry their game.
On Sunday, the Southeastern Conference announced multiple kickoff times and television designations for the coming weekend, and Ole Miss and Arkansas are scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. CT with the game being televised on ESPN.
This marks the second straight week where the Rebels will play at 11 o’clock, and it is their first road game of the season to earn that kickoff time. So far in 11 a.m. kicks, Ole Miss is 1-1 with last week’s win over Oklahoma and an earlier loss to the Kentucky Wildcats.
