COLLEGE BASKETBALL NATIONAL ROUNDUP : Arkansas Gets Ready for Arizona

Oliver Miller had 15 points and 12 rebounds to lead No. 19 Arkansas to a 91-70 victory over Montevallo Thursday night at Little Rock.

For Arkansas (6-2), the game against the NAIA school from Alabama was a tune-up for a Saturday matchup against No. 2 Arizona in Fayetteville, Ark.

Miller, Arkansas’ starting center, wasn’t expected to play after missing two practices this week to be with his sick grandmother in Ft. Worth.

He scored 11 points during a 25-10 second-half run that gave Arkansas its biggest lead, 69-34.

Montevallo (8-3) outscored the Razorback substitutes, 34-14, over the next 10 minutes and pulled to 83-68 with 3:43 left.

No. 25 Louisville 90, Morehead State 76--Sophomore Dwayne Morton scored 12 of his 33 points in the final 5:08 to give the Cardinals a 90-76 victory over their intrastate rival at Louisville, Ky.

Morton also opened the game with a hot hand, scoring 15 points as Louisville (5-0) took a 20-14 lead with 10:14 left in the half.

Trailing by 14 points, Morehead State (4-4) rallied to make it 74-69 with 6:06 remaining, but the Cardinals pulled away.

Brigham Young 104, McNeese State 64--Center Gary Trost scored 26 points and grabbed 18 rebounds to pace the Cougars (6-0) at Provo, Utah.
