Fayetteville, AR (SportsNetwork.com) - The 25th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks will try to continue their dominance over the North Texas Mean Green when the two teams meet up for a non-conference tilt inside Bud Walton Arena on Friday night. Arkansas has dominated the head-to-head series, winning all 13 prior meetings with North Texas. This time around, the Razorbacks find themselves in the national rankings for the first time since November of 2007 and are coming off Tuesday nights 78-72 win at SMU. The last time Arkansas started a season 4-0 was 2006. The Razorbacks will try to extend their 17-game home winning streak against non- conference foes. This marks the road opener for North Texas. The Mean Green went 4-1 on their season-opening, five-game homestand and will now play three straight on the road. They posted a 67-52 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Wednesday. Muhammed Ahmed led the way with a season-best 15 points off the bench to go along with a game-high nine rebounds in that win over MVSU. But despite the final score, it was far from a complete game for the Mean Green, who shot just 46.4 percent from the floor and committed 20 turnovers. They also missed 10- of-20 free throws. Colin Voss was the teams only other player in double figures, finishing with 10 points and eight boards as North Texas had a 49-35 rebounding advantage for the game. Jordan Williams is the lone player averaging double figures on the season with 13.6 ppg, albeit on 37.9 percent shooting from the floor. He scored seven points in 34 minutes of action on Wednesday night. The Razorbacks never trailed against a tough SMU squad earlier this week. Defense was the key early on as Arkansas forced 16 first-half turnovers to grab an 11-point lead at the break. SMU made only one of its first nine attempts from the floor and had seven turnovers in that span as the Razorbacks jumped out to a 13-4 lead and never looked back. Sophomore Bobby Portis went on to score a game-high 22 points, followed by Michael Qualls with 13, and Rashad Madden with 10. Offensively, Arkansas leads the SEC in scoring (89.2), field goal percentage (.508), three-point percentage (.521) and assists (21.3).

Root hit 83 from 44 balls as England completed the highest successful run chase in the ICC World T20 by trumping South Africas 229-4 with two balls remaining in a pulsating clash in Mumbai.The Yorkshiremans half-century was his third in 14 T20I innings while he has also plundered a combined 17 tons in Test and ODI cricket, averaging over 54 in the former and over 44 in the latter, before the age of 26. People were asking where Roots place was in Englands T20 side a while ago but he strikes it a similar rate as Jos Buttler, who is this legendary T20 player. Nasser Hussain He is the best England batsman across all forms of cricket ever, Hussain told Sky Sports after Root helped England respond to Wednesdays Chris Gayle-inspired defeat to West Indies.I know that is a big comment but can you name another batsman who could do what he does as well as him?People were asking where Roots place was in Englands T20 side a while ago but he strikes it a similar rate as Jos Buttler, who is this legendary T20 player. Joe Root picked up the Man of the Match award after he lead to a massive win over South Africa in the World T20 He just does it in a different way - with Jos you know he is striking it well, whereas with Joe he has 40 off 20 and you wonder how he has done it.Apart from his back, I dont think England have to wrap him up in cotton wool - (Indias Virat) Kohli can cope with the pressure and stardom and Joe will learn to do the same.He is our best player, a star, and will only get better - these are the best years of his life. Matt Prior picked out the performances of Jason Roy and Alex Hales, who helped set up Englands victory over South Africa in the World T20.dddddddddddd Roots knock at Wankhede Stadium, which contained six fours and four sixes, came after Jason Roy (43 from 16) and Alex Hales (17 from 7) had thumped England to 48-0 within the third over of their innings.Hussain heaped praise on Englands opening duo and the teams bottle - but was scathing of the bowling performances from both sides in Mumbai, as 459 runs were smashed in 39.4 overs.Its one thing chasing 230 when its your first game and there is another tomorrow but another when if you lose the game you are probably out, added Hussain, as England joined West Indies and Sri Lanka on two points in Group 1.England showed a lot of bottle and the 40-odd runs that Hales and Roy put on, which wont get much of a mention, got them off to flyer that South Africa couldnt come back from. Nick Knight felt Englands bowling performance against South Africa was awful and that it was chaos at times The bowling was horrendous, though - England bowled too wide and South Africa bowled too straight.The batting in limited-over cricket has gone up exponentially - the 360 shots played are unimaginable - but the bowling is no better than it was a decade ago, perhaps because of the pressure put on bowlers by batsmen.Watch Englands next World T20 game, against Afghanistan, from 9am, Wednesday, Sky Sports 2.
