Arkansas first-year coach Mike Anderson promised a frenetic, pressing style when he took over the program in March. He delivered just that in his first signature win, beating Mississippi State (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today, No. 15 AP) 98-88 on Saturday night. Julysses Nobles scored a career-high 24 points and freshman B.J. Young added 24 to help Arkansas open Southeastern Conference play with a win. The victory was the Razorbacks (12-3, 1-0 SEC) seventh straight and improved them to 12-0 in Bud Walton Arena this season.
