Center Malique Ewin scored a season-high 21 points and collected first three assists of the campaign, Karter Knox had a double-double, and No. 21 Arkansas placed seven players in double figures in a 115-61 blowout of Jackson State on Friday in Fayetteville, Ark.

Knox had 17 points and 10 rebounds, D. J. Wagner had 16 points, and Meleek Thomas added 13 off the bench for the Razorbacks (5-1), who scored their most points in a game in coach John Calipari’s two seasons.

Tamarion Hoover had 19 points and hit four 3-pointers while Dorian McMillian had nine points for the Tigers (0-5), who have also lost to No. 8 Illinois, No. 6 Louisville and No. 22 Auburn. Second-leading scorer Daeshun Ruffin did not score in eight minutes.

The Razorbacks led 47-19 at the half and kept pushing, making 16 of their first 19 field goal attempts in the second half. They scored 68 points in the frame and led 79-27 with 12 minutes remaining.

Arkansas shot 63.9% from the field and had a 38-27 rebounding advantage while committing only six turnovers.

Billy Richmond III had a season-high 14 points and Darius Acuff Jr. had 10 for the Razorbacks, who also made 28 of 36 free throws.

The Tigers shot 34.4% from the field and made 9 of 27 3-pointers. They were 7 of 33 from the floor in the first half, including 3 of 15 from distance.

Arkansas has won all 13 meetings between the two teams.

The Razorbacks used their fourth starting combination while looking for the best way to attack a schedule that gets appreciably more difficult.

They play 19 of their remaining 24 regular-season games against teams that won at least 20 games last season, beginning with Duke in the CBS Thanksgiving Classic on Thursday in Chicago.

Thomas made an immediate impact when he entered after the first media timeout. He hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key for a 12-7 lead, and his lob passes set up Richmond for run-out dunks on the next two possessions as the Razorbacks broke from a 7-7 tie four minutes into the game.

Arkansas asserted itself within a pair of long scoring runs to take control. Wagner’s dunk capped a 24-9 run for a 31-16 lead.

After Jayme Mitchell Jr. hit a 3 to stop the run, the Razorbacks scored the final 16 points of the first half to take a 47-19 lead.

Van Dijk points to ‘easy goals’ and ‘bad atmosphere’ after latest Liverpool defeat

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk reflected on a "very bad" atmosphere after his side's 3-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest.Following a bright start at Anfield by Arne Slot's side, Forest scored a controversial set-piece goal against the run of play, where Dan Ndoye was adjudged not to be interfering with Alisson's line of sight as Murillo struck the opener. The visitors had a second goal disallowed for handball minutes later. Things went from bad to worse 39 seconds after the restart when Nicolo Savona doubled Forest's lead and Morgan Gibbs-White's thumping late finish left Liverpool to slump to their second consecutive defeat by a three-goal margin in as many weeks and left them in the bottom half of the table.

Michigan State HC Tom Izzo: Jeremy Fears Jr. ‘As Good As Any Guard I’ve Had’

Jeremy Fears Jr. is off to a spectacular start for the Michigan State Spartans on both ends of the floor, and it shows in the box score.Over Michigan State's last two games, Fears has totaled 26 points, 24 assists and five steals, and the redshirt sophomore guard has caught head coach Tom Izzo's attention."I'm never satisfied. I think his defense can be a little better because I think he's an absolute dog defensively, meaning he'll dog you. Not a dog in a bad way. He can get after you. He's a pitbull in that when he wants to be," Izzo said about Fears after Michigan State's win over Detroit Mercy on Friday night. "Now we're getting him a little rest, 28-29 minutes [per game] is probably perfect if we can do that because he's got to push the ball, he's […]

Sparta zdržovala, mínila Boleslav. Vítej v mém světě, řekl Priske kolegovi

Boleslavský trenér Aleš Majer, který byl v hodně chladném odpoledni do utkání tak ponořen, že koučoval jen ve svetru, se u postranní čáry několikrát chytal za hlavu. Sparťanský kouč Brian Priske se pak dostal do výměny názorů s domácí lavičkou a po utkání si vše vyříkával s vedoucím domácího mužstva Markem Matějovským.Reakce aktérů? „Bylo to úplně v pohodě. Nešlo o nic zásadního. Říkali jsme si (s trenérem Priskem - pozn. aut.) něco k tomu, že Sparta hrála v závěru pomalu. On mi to totiž vytýkal po zápase na Spartě, že po 80. minutě za stavu 2:2 jsme pomalu rozehrávali. Říkal jsem mu, že tady je to to samé,“ vylíčil Majer.Zmínka o tom, že zdržovali, hosty nenechala v klidu. „Nepřijeli jsme sem zdržovat utkání. To nikdy není náš záměr, naopak my jsme ten tým, který chce držet tempo utkání. Ale když máte pět minut do konce, vedete o gól, hráči jsou pod tlakem a mají zodpovědnost […]
