FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Tramon Mark scored a career-high 35 points and his game-winner with 1.1 seconds helped put Arkansas into the SEC win column in frenetic fashion as the Razorbacks beat Texas A&M 78-77 on Tuesday night.

Mark alone made 22 trips to the foul line and made 17 shots. Out of a timeout, Mark took the inbound and dribbled left before sinking his runner. The Aggies failed to get the ball in clean and it bounced harmlessly out of bounds to end it.

The Razorbacks (10-7, 1-3) needed Mark’s effort to overcome a career high 41-point effort by Texas A&M’s Wade Taylor IV, who made 13 baskets on the night with five of them mostly coming in acrobatic fashion from behind the 3-point arc. He buried a lunging 3 off a screen with 7.6 seconds left to give Texas A&M its only lead of the game at 77-76. Taylor attempted 32 shots (40.6%), a record number of attempts against Arkansas in Razorback history.

El Ellis added 15 points for the Razorbacks.

Andersson Garcia made all five his shot attempts and scored 10 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for Texas A&M (10-7, 1-3).

The teams combined to make 44 of 125-shot attempts (35.2%). The Aggies had 74 attempts.

Arkansas posted a pair of 20-point leads in the first half.

The Razorbacks built a 17-3 lead within the first 8 minutes, and with 8:01 before halftime Jeremiah Davenport made a 3-pointer and extended the Razorbacks’ lead to 30-10. But Taylor sank two foul shots, followed with a jump shot and Texas A&M began the slow climb back.

Ellis’ layup with 6:07 before the break pushed Arkansas’ lead to 34-14 before the Aggies rallied to outscore Arkansas 18-12 to trail 46-32 to set the stage for the second half rally.

Texas A&M faces LSU on the road Saturday. Arkansas hosts South Carolina on Saturday.

Homicide suspect causes barricade situation in east Arkansas jail

PHILLIPS COUNTY, Ark. — A suspect in a Helena-West Helena homicide caused a barricade situation Tuesday as he was being processed in the Phillips County Detention Center.

Authorities said a prisoner who was being processed at the jail was able to get hold of some type of instrument and cause harm to himself.

He barricaded himself in the processing area and pepper spray was used to subdue him.

The prisoner was taken to the local emergency room for treatment. No one else was injured.

Helena-West Helena Police Chief Vincent Bell said he doesn’t know much more about what happened at the jail, but said the inmate is connected to a fatal shooting Tuesday afternoon.

The suspect was being held in connection to an incident where a man was shot dead in the doorway of O’Reilly Auto Parts in West Helena.

The shooting was the result of a disagreement that started in front of a motel, and the victim ran to the front of O’Reilly’s where he was fatally shot.

Chief Bell offered no details on a motive or the name of the victim.

According to KenPom, Arkansas jumped from 40th to 38th following the victory over the Hawks. The Razorbacks efficient defensive night pushed them to sixth in defensive efficiency, up four spots from 10th.

“Defensively, we’re one of the best teams in the country and we want to continue to hand our hats on how we are defensively,” Arkansas associate head coach Chin Coleman said postgame. “And a lot of stuff that we do defensively, it doesn’t matter who we play, because it’s our scheme. It’s our schematics and it works. As long as we’re in the right spots and we’re doing what we teach, it’ll work against anyone.”

The Razorbacks eclipsed the 100-point mark, shot 55.6% from the field and hit three-pointers at a 44.1% clip. As a result, Arkansas’ offensive metrics received a major boost.

Freshman guard Boogie Fland was awarded team MVP from KenPom after the game. He had an offensive rating of 194.0 and scored 16 points on 3-of-5 shooting which included two makes from deep.
