South Carolina sends Arkansas to 1-4 in SEC play | Arkansas Democrat Gazette
FAYETTEVILLE — South Carolina became the latest SEC basketball team to snap a multi-year losing streak to Arkansas on Saturday.
The Gamecocks never trailed and won 77-64 at Bud Walton Arena, where the Razorbacks lost by double digits for the second time since conference play began Jan. 6.
South Carolina (15-3, 3-2 SEC) defeated Arkansas for the first time since January 2020 and snapped a three-game losing streak in the series.
Arkansas (10-8, 1-4) also lost to Georgia and Florida for the first time since the 2019-20 season during a poor start to SEC play.
The Gamecocks scored the game’s first five points and were never seriously challenged. South Carolina built a 39-27 halftime lead as it shot 12 of 28 from the floor, including 5 of 12 from three-point range, and 10 of 13 at the free-throw line in the first half.

Arkansas struggled to defend off the dribble, which allowed the Gamecocks several looks at or near the rim. South Carolina forward B.J. Mack had 12 first-half points as part of his game-high 18.
The Razorbacks trailed by as many as 19 points in the second half.
Tramon Mark made back-to-back three-pointers to pull Arkansas within 49-42 with 12:54 to play. South Carolina responded with a 13-1 run that put the game out of reach and sent many of the home fans to the exits.
Ta’Lon Cooper made a pair of three-pointers during the Gamecocks’ game-defining run. His first three came out of a South Carolina timeout to end a 6-0 stretch by Arkansas, and his second three forced the Razorbacks to call timeout with 10:29 remaining, trailing 60-43.
Arkansas did not get closer than 13 points the rest of the way.
Zachary Davis scored 12 points and Cooper and Collin Murray-Boyles added 11 apiece for the Gamecocks.
Mark scored 18 points to lead the Razorbacks after a slow start. He had two points at halftime.
No other Arkansas player scored in double figures. El Ellis scored 9 points and Davonte Davis and Jeremiah Davenport added 8 points apiece.
The Gamecocks out-rebounded the Razorbacks 39-27, but Arkansas had a 14-5 advantage in second-chance points as both teams recorded 8 offensive boards.
The Razorbacks also won the turnover battle 10-5, but could not overcome a large shooting discrepancy.
Arkansas shot 23 of 62 and 5 of 18 from three-point range. The Razorbacks were 13 of 16 at the line.
South Carolina finished 28 of 54 overall, 9 of 18 from three-point range and 12 of 17 at the line.
It’s been a bone-dry year in Arkansas. It’s now the 7th driest year on record in Little Rock since record-keeping began in 1875, as of April 20.
24 days so far this year in Little Rock have received measurable rainfall. 12 days received a trace amount of rain, meaning there were no rainfall measurements to report (it was too little to record), as it was just a sprinkle or a few spits.
Only 4 days have received an inch or more of rain so far this year. Those occurred on April 4, March 7, February 14, and January 24. January’s “rain” was really winter precipitation.
April is usually the rainiest month of the year in Arkansas. In Little Rock, April on average receives 5.59 inches of rainfall. So far this April, as of April 20, Little Rock has only recorded 1.17″ of rain for the month.
The rainfall deficit over the last 6 months is well over a foot for much of Arkansas, including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and Harrison.
Spring is the rainy season, and summer is the dry season. If rain isn’t recorded soon, the drought will persist into the summer. In fact, the latest seasonal drought outlook shows that while some areas of Arkansas could see improvements, the drought continues into July.
To fully end the drought, parts of central and northeast Arkansas need more than 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. Parts of northwest Arkansas need between 15 and 20 inches of rain over the next 3 months. The rest of the state needs between 20 and 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. All of this rain would need to be received slowly, not all at one time.
The odds of receiving this much rain slowly over the next 3 months are very low.

BENTON, Ark. (KATV) — Saline County residents got a fresh boost earlier today when the Central Arkansas Development Council hosted its third Fresh Market event in the county, handing out about 300 bags of fresh produce free of charge.
The council, described as the largest community action agency in Arkansas, said the event is part of its ongoing effort to address food insecurity in the state and expand access to healthy food options.
“What we’re here to do is we’re here to be what our community needs us to be,” Randy Morris, CEO of Central Arkansas Development Council, said. “We are here to serve our mission, which is to alleviate the causes and conditions of poverty, to help vulnerable populations achieve their potential and to build strong communities in Arkansas through community action.”
The council also said it was rewarded funds by the government to host an emergency food drive that will happen soon.
