Beard a dwarf among giants for Hogs

FAYETTEVILLE -- Comparing pedigrees, Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson admits it appears difficult for his Razorbacks at Kentucky tonight.

"You look position by position, you line our guys up against theirs, from a talent standpoint there's no way," Anderson said.

Yet he looks down the bench at Anton Beard and gives his Razorbacks a fighting chance in today's 7:30 p.m. game at the No. 6 Wildcats at Rupp Arena in Lexington.

The Wildcats have bigger, better more heralded players than Anton Beard.

But none fight any harder than the 6-foot junior guard who played for North Little Rock's 7A state championship team and was MVP in that 2014 state championship game.
