'He's been phenomenal': Whitt in rhythm offensively

FAYETTEVILLE — Four games into his second stint at Arkansas, Jimmy Whitt is finding his footing again.

Whitt, who began his college career with the Razorbacks under former coach Mike Anderson then transferred and played two seasons at SMU, scored just two points on 1 of 4 shooting in Arkansas' season-opening win over Rice on Nov. 5. He has reached double figures in scoring and shot at least 50 percent from the floor in the three games since.

To complement sophomore guard Isaiah Joe's 33-point showing in the 82-51 win over Texas Southern on Tuesday, Whitt added 17 points - his highest total in 36 career games with the Razorbacks - and 10 rebounds, recording his sixth career double-double.
