Fayetteville, AR (SportsNetwork.com) - The 23rd-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks are set for their SEC home opener on Saturday evening when they take on the Vanderbilt Commodores at Bud Walton Arena. Vanderbilt kicked off its conference slate by cruising to a 64-52 home win over Auburn on Tuesday night. The victory was the fourth in a row and sixth over the last seven games for the Commodores. They will now hit the road for three of their next four games. Meanwhile, Arkansas has reeled off six straight wins to move into the national rankings. The Razorbacks won their SEC road opener for the first time since 2008 with Tuesdays 79-75 triumph at Georgia. They currently own a 15-game home win streak at Bud Walton Arena, where they are 60-6 all-time. In terms of the all-time series between these two teams, Arkansas holds a 19-11 advantage, and that includes a 10-2 mark against the Commodores in Fayetteville. Vandy held a huge 47-27 rebounding advantage over Auburn, and the Commodores defense limited the Tigers to 30.5-percent shooting from the floor. Senior James Siakam (10.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg) had a team-high 14 points and 10 rebounds in 29 minutes of action for his fourth career double-double. Siakam was one of four Commodores in double figures. On the season, Vanderbilt leads the SEC in field-goal percentage (.500) and is second in 3-point shooting percentage (.389). Sophomore big man Damian Jones, a preseason All-SEC first-team pick, leads the way with 16.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per tilt and ranks second in the league in field-goal percentage (.551). The Commodores have gotten widespread contributions from their youthful roster. Riley LaChance is the SECs top freshman scorer at 13.1 ppg, and he ranks among the overall league leaders in threes made per game (2.1) and 3-point shooting percentage (.426). Shelton Mitchell (5.6 ppg, 4.9 apg) and Wade Baldwin IV (7.4 ppg, 4.2 apg) are first and third, respectively, among the leagues freshmen in assists. This matchup certainly has the potential to turn into a high-scoring shootout, considering Arkansas is the only team in the SEC to score at least 65 points in every game. The Razorbacks rank No. 8 in the nation in scoring (84.1 ppg) and are tied for third in assists (18.4 apg). Bobby Portis (17.1 ppg, 7.6 rpg) and Michael Qualls (15.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg) lead the way. The Razorbacks found themselves trailing Georgia on the road by as many as 13 late in the first half of Tuesdays game. However, Arkansas turned things around in the second half by shooting 57.7 percent from the floor while holding the Bulldogs to 34.5 percent over the final 20 minutes. The Razorbacks were out-rebounded by a 40-25 margin for the game, but they forced 17 turnovers and committed only nine. Portis led all scorers with 21 points, Qualls tallied 17 points and seven boards, and Alandise Harris chipped in with 15 points off the bench. Fake Jordan 1 Banned .

Fortunately for the Wildcats, guards Andrew and Aaron Harrison knew he wasnt there and their work in offsetting his absence proved crucial in overcoming No. 6 Louisville. The identical twin freshmen combined for 28 points, including 11 during a critical second-half stretch with Randle sidelined, helping the 18th-ranked Wildcats earn a 73-66 victory on Saturday. "It always hurts you when you lose a great player," said Andrew Harrison, who went 6 of 16 from the field. "But at the same time, we all knew we had to bring it and that just means we all had to step it up a little bit." Randles 17 first-half points staked Kentucky (10-3) to a 41-36 halftime lead before the 6-foot-9 forward went to the locker room early in the second with leg cramps. He returned but soon limped to the bench with more cramps and spent the rest of the game on the bench. The Harrison twins amply filled the void, turning a 52-51 deficit with 11:01 remaining into a 68-58 lead with four minutes left. Andrew Harrison and James Young each scored 18 points with Young adding a key 3-pointer during the 17-6 run that helped Kentucky beat its in-state archrival for the fifth time in six meetings. "Andrew played incredible today down the stretch," forward Alex Poythress said. The young, talented Wildcats also earned their first win against a ranked opponent in four tries this season. This victory was particularly impressive coming against the defending national champions, who entered with significantly more experience than Kentuckys squad featuring six high school All-Americans. "I thought we grew up," Calipari said. "We looked like a basketball team today. Heres what was on the (drawing) board today: Look like a team. Play like a team. Fight like a team. Those were the keys to the victory." Russ Smith scored 19 points but was just 5 of 10 from the foul line for Louisville (11-2), which failed to capitalize after rallying from the halftime hole. Chris Jones added 18 points for the Cardinals, who made just 14 of 22 free throws and missed their second chance to beat a top-25 school. After losing tough early-season games to Michigan State, Baylor and North Carolina, Kentucky finally found the formula to beat a ranked team. Other than allowing Louisville to open both halves with runs, the Wildcats handled everything the Cardinals tried, especially in the clutch, and kept control down the sttretch.dddddddddddd The Wildcats outrebounded Louisville 44-36 including 17-12 offensively. Their significant size advantage kept the Cardinals from driving inside as they consistently contested shots and passes, and they controlled the paint in outscoring Louisville 42-24 and held the Cards to 40 per cent shooting. Young and Willie Cauley-Stein each grabbed 10 rebounds for Kentucky. "We had a shot in the second half, and missed free throws and a big defensive mistake in giving up the 3-pointer," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "I give them credit, they did a good job against our pressure." Most importantly, Kentucky earned Bluegrass State bragging rights after a week in which Pitino and Calipari tried to stress the big-picture perspective. Besides cautioning players about putting too much weight in this game, both coaches also told them to block out the noise leading up to this well-hyped showdown. Tuning out the noise before 24,396 in Rupp Arena was another story. The standing-room only student section was filled an hour before tipoff and the din only grew louder -- just after Louisville took the sea of Kentucky blue out of the game by scoring the first eight points. Randle answered with five for the Wildcats, including a driving dunk for his first basket that quickly got the crowd excited. That play set the stage for a half in which he muscled his way past a variety of Louisville defenders on 7-of-8 shooting. Cramps limited Randle to four second-half minutes and 21 overall, but not without a huge attempt from Kentuckys medical staff to rehydrate him. "Three bags of IV (fluid) and the doc was squeezing it in," Calipari joked, "because I was saying, get him back, squeeze it." Andrew Harrison added seven points, helping to provide a 41-36 halftime lead as the Wildcats used their size to keep the Cardinals on the perimeter. Louisville started the second half quickly and tied it at 43 after two minutes as Smith scored five points while Mangok Mathiang added a putback. Louisville eventually grabbed its first lead since 9:09 of the first half, 52-51, on Jones three-point play. From there it was all Kentucky as Andrew Harrison, Young and others banded together provided the victory the Wildcats had been seeking all year. That it came under adversity against their biggest rival before a charged-up crowd made it even sweeter. "Thats what you come to Kentucky for, to play the big games," Andrew Harrison said. "Its a great feeling and its an even better win, but were always looking to get better." ' ' '
