When the Arkansas basketball team gets a short Christmas break after playing Sam Houston State tonight at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Anton Beard, Dusty Hannahs and Daryl Macon won't have to travel to see their families.
The trio of Arkansas guards already are home.
"It's awesome," Hannahs said. "We're all just really excited to go play in our city."
Beard is from North Little Rock and Hannahs and Macon are from Little Rock.
"I'm sure they'll be charged up about it, but they have to understand that it's basketball," Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said.
