Macon scores points as a passer

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks guard Daryl Macon didn't score after going back into the game against Missouri with 8:57 left, but he made sure his team did.

Macon, a 6-3 senior from Little Rock, had assists on four of the Razorbacks' last six baskets -- starting with his pass to Dustin Thomas for a layup -- as they came back to beat the Tigers 65-63 on Saturday in Walton Arena.

Thomas' basket gave the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville a 53-49 lead, but Missouri went on a 10-0 run to move ahead 59-53 with 4:43 left.

Macon then had assists on three baskets to 6-11 freshman Daniel Gafford -- including a three-point play that pulled the Razorbacks within 59-58 and a lay-in on an alley-oop that put them back in front 65-63 with 57.
