• Chris Lykes is on the Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy Watch List and, right now, perhaps the leader for the nation's Sixth Man of the Year.

• He is coming off a 26-point performance versus Northern Iowa, which was two points off his career high and his 17th career 20-point game.
^ His acrobatic layup was the Top Play on ESPN's SportsCenter.
^ Scored 12 straight points for Arkansas on his own, including 7-0 Razorback run, in the first half.
^ Arkansas was down 3 (75-72 with 4:25 left) before Lykes ignited a 21-5 run with nine points —going 6-of-6 from the free throw line — over the final 4:10 to secure the win.

• Chris Lykes' 26 points was just the 11th time since Arkansas joined the SEC (1991-92) that a Razorback scored 26+ points off the bench. Other players were JD Notae, Daryl Macon, BJ Young (2x), Jason Henry, Pat Beverley, Jannero Pargo (2x), Al Dillard and Corliss Williamson. (HogStats)

Kansas St is 2-0 with unimpressive wins over Florida A&M and Omaha.
