Happy Hogs take hiatus for holiday

The Arkansas basketball team is getting a three-day Christmas break after playing Sam Houston State on Thursday night.

"I'm going home to Nigeria," Razorbacks senior center Moses Kingsley told reporters.

Silence from the room.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding," Kingsley quickly added. "I can't go home and come back in three days."

Kingsley even got teammate Daryl Macon for a second.

"I was going like, 'What?' " Macon said.

The joke fit in with the rest of the night in North Little Rock for the Razorbacks. Arkansas won a laugher over Sam Houston State 90-56 at Verizon Arena before an announced crowd of 12,153.
