It was happy homecoming for Daryl Macon and Anton Beard on Saturday night in North Little Rock.
Macon and Beard -- the Arkansas Razorbacks' senior guards from Little Rock and North Little Rock, respectively -- combined for 36 points to lead their team to an 88-63 victory before an announced crowd of 16,416 at Verizon Arena.
Macon led the Razorbacks (8-2) with 25 points, 5 assists and 3 steals without a turnover in 30 minutes. Beard had 11 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal in 28 minutes.
It was the final game in the Little Rock area for Macon and Beard, and Razorbacks Coach Mike Anderson said there was some concern they might be too high emotionally.
