WOOOOOOOO PIG

Ole Miss opens SEC play tonight at Fayetteville against Arkansas. While this Arkansas team is not the "Forty Minutes of Hell" they were under former coach Nolan Richardson, they are pretty good. Arkansas(12-1) has only lost to top ranked Illinois. Coach Stan Heath's team is leads the SEC in several categories, and is led by sophomore guard Ronnie Brewer, who leads the team with 16.5 points per game. Coach Barne's Rebels come into the game riding a seven game winning streak. The Rebels continue to be led by junior forward Londrick Nolen with 12.3 points per game. This stat has dropped a little over the last several games. Nolen needs to be scoring more for the Rebels if they are going to win in the SEC. Ole Miss has one five of the last eight games in Bud Walton Arena. This is by far the toughest match up the Rebels have faced this season. Hopefully the Rebels will hang with the Razorbacks and keep this one a close one. Gametime is at 8:05, click on the link to listen to the game live:
