He leads a nationally ranked team while averaging 21.6 points and 10.3 rebounds despite a 28 percent three point rate on 83 attempts.
Arkansas Razorbacks 19-8 8-6 in SEC opened 1-3 but rallied to win three straight over Florida Alabama and Tennessee. Led by junior guard Ronnie Brewer, the team builds a strong case for an at large NCAA bid.
