Gafford locks up three-peat

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks forward Daniel Gafford has been named SEC Freshman of the Week for the third time, the conference office announced Monday.

Gafford joins Bobby Portis and Patrick Beverley as the only Razorbacks to win the SEC freshman honor three times.

"That tells me he's starting to put things together," University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Coach Mike Anderson said. "He's really starting to figure out how hard he's got to play and play with the smarts he's got to play with.

'I think also his teammates are doing a good job of getting him started early on, and he's getting into it offensively and defensively.
