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.

Starting line-up

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.

A 7-year-old boy died after he fell from the window of a moving car and was hit by an oncoming car in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, on Sunday night, authorities say. The driver who hit the boy left the scene and is being sought by police.

The child died in Millersville, on I-97 north of Route 32, Maryland State Police said Monday morning. His name was not released.

State troopers and medics rushed to the area shortly before 7:30 p.m. Sunday and pronounced the boy dead on the scene.

According to an initial investigation, the boy was a rear passenger in a 2011 Mazda 3 headed north. He opened a window, fell out and landed on the road, police said in a statement.

The child was then hit by a car described as a 2016 to 2019 Honda Civic.

That driver left the scene and is now sought by police. The Civic may have damage to the front left wheel well, police said.
