There might not be a team happier to see January in the rear-view mirror than two-time defending national champion UConn.

The early season was rough for Arkansas guard Johnell Davis, but he's playing his best basketball at the right time, and it was one of the main reasons the Razorbacks (14-8, 3-6 SEC) took home a 78-70 victory over the Texas Longhorns (15-8, 4-6 SEC) on Wednesday night at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Davis exploded for a season-high 24 points on 7-of-15 shooting that included four threes in the game. Since Boogie Fland went down with a thumb injury that will likely keep him out for the remainder of the season, Davis has filled in well as another scoring option.
