University of Arkansas guard JD Notae, the SEC’s leading scorer, took a load of shots but he managed to provide a breakthrough with 25 points in what was largely a defensive slugfest in the Razorbacks’ 65-54 win at Ole Miss on Wednesday.
Notae made 10 of 23 shots, including 4 of 10 from three-point range and 1 of 2 free throws to lead all scorers. The 6-2 guard, whose endorsement deal with the Hunt family’s name, image and likeness organization called the Athlete Advocate Consortium was announced on Wednesday, scored 39% of his team’s points and 21% of all the points.
