FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks crushed Ole Miss in bench scoring during Saturday's 97-93 victory at Walton Arena.
The Razorbacks' reserves accounted for 39 points, their high in an SEC game and fourth-highest of the season, and out-scored their Ole Miss counterparts 39-12.
Of course it helps the bench scoring when the team's second-leading scorer, Daryl Macon, isn't in the starting lineup, as was the case on Saturday.
Macon scored 20 points, including 11 of 12 shooting from the free-throw line, and C.J. Jones added 11 points to spark the reserves.
"I've always said our bench is probably our strongest component, and I thought that came to fruition this afternoon," Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said.
