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.

MARYLAND – Big changes could be coming to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
What we know:
After years of planning, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Board will vote Thursday on a replacement for the current Bay Bridge.
On Tuesday, the Board’s staff publicly released their recommendation: what’s called “Alternative C,” which they said includes:
- “Two new four-lane bridge spans with full shoulders across the Chesapeake Bay, enhancing safety while providing additional transportation capacity, reliability and mobility.”
- “Removal of the existing Bay Bridge spans, addressing existing roadway deficiencies including narrow lanes and lack of shoulders, eliminating the need for major rehabilitation projects and associated lane closures and delays, and increasing navigational clearance to meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements. The navigational clearance will match that of the new Key Bridge, allowing larger ships to access the Port of Baltimore.”
- “Widening of US 50/301 to eight lanes (four per direction) from west of Oceanic Drive to east of Cox Creek to accommodate transitions to the new crossing.”
- “Financial commitments for transit-related improvements.”
- “An optional bicycle and pedestrian shared-use path, which the MDTA will further evaluate to determine if it should be included.”
Officials estimated that the total cost of the project would be between $14.8 and $17.6 billion, depending on whether the shared-use path is ultimately included. Although, they cautioned that those figures are very preliminary.
What they’re saying:
“The bridges are aging,” said Maryland Transportation Authority Director of Planning and Program Development Melissa Williams. “Just like your older car, you put more and more money in as the year’s go on, and sometimes you get to the point where it just makes more sense to replace than to put money in.”
Most drivers who spoke with FOX 5 Wednesday evening were intrigued by the plan.
“We already have so much traffic as it is, especially on Fridays, the weekends,” said Jason Ramos. “It’s just insane.”
Still, Williams said the bridge replacement plan wouldn’t alleviate traffic altogether.
“Building this bridge will be a huge step in helping address traffic in the corridor,” she explained. “Will it completely eliminate it? I wish I could say yes, but the answer is no.”
What’s next:
There is a lot more to come before plans for a new bridge are finalized.
Thursday’s MDTA vote would give way to public hearings, scheduled for early next year. Then, federal officials would still have to give their final approval, which would likely take place in late 2026.
Officials said the earliest construction would begin is likely in the Summer of 2032.
