Other than that, it was all good after the Razorbacks (13-13, 4-9 SEC) swept the season series with Texas A&M, with Tuesday night’s 78-71 victory in College Station. The win also got the Hogs back to .500 in the overall standings.
Junior Tramon Mark poured in a game-high 26, and senior Makhi Mitchell turned in a monster performance, with 22 points and 13 rebounds. It was his fifth double-double of the season.
