FAYETTEVILLE -- The only current member of the University of Arkansas men's basketball team to play in a victory over Mississippi State was at SMU the previous three years.
Senior guard Jimmy Whitt, who began his college career as a freshman at Arkansas during the 2015-16 season, returned to the Razorbacks as a graduate transfer this season after redshirting at SMU and being a two-year starter for the Mustangs.
Whitt went scoreless in 10 minutes off the Arkansas bench when the Razorbacks beat the Bulldogs 82-68 at Walton Arena on Jan. 9, 2016. That's the last time Arkansas beat Mississippi State -- 1,498 days ago.
