TODAY’S GAMES

— Arkansas men vs. Oklahoma

WHEN 6 p.m. today WHERE Walton Arena, Fayetteville RECORDS Arkansas 3-3; Oklahoma 6-1 SERIES Arkansas leads 14-12 TELEVISION ESPN2 RADIO Razorback Sports Network TICKETS $25

CHALK TALK Oklahoma has 10 players averaging between 25 and 10 minutes per game, so it won’t be easy for the Razorbacks to wear out the Sooners. While Oklahoma returned all five starters from last season’s 15-16 team, three newcomers are now starting, including freshmen guards Je’lon Hornbeak and Isaiah Cousins. The Razorbacks hope their defensive pressure and the Walton Arena crowd will help rattle the freshmen. The home team has won five consecutive games in the Arkansas-Oklahoma series. Sooners Coach Lon Kruger was 0-2 at Walton Arena when he was Florida’s coach and the Gators lost at Arkansas in 1992 and 1994.
