Trevon Brazile got off to a hot start, scoring 12 of the Razorback’s first 19 points, and freshman Darius Acuff Jr. recorded a double-double, while scoring nine of the Hogs’ last 15, to lead #25 Arkansas to an 89-80 victory over #6 Louisville Wednesday night at Bud Walton Arena in the third annual ACC/SEC Challenge.

New Arkansas head football coach Ryan Silverfield had a busy first full day on the job as he worked to recruit players from Arkansas high schools.
