FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Jimmy Whitt was already in a groove offensively entering Friday night, averaging 14.6 points and shooting 54 percent in the Razorbacks' previous three games.
Against South Dakota, he was nearly unstoppable.
The grad transfer guard scored a game-high 24 points on a sizzling 11 of 14 from the floor on the Coyotes, leading the charge in Arkansas' impressive 77-56 win. Whitt's mid-range jumpshot, which has long been his bread and butter, was again on full display.
"I think that's the unique part of my game. I'm going to get to where I'm most comfortable, and that's that mid-range area," Whitt said.
