FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- James Southerland provided Syracuse with exactly what it needed off the bench -- and then some -- in its first visit to Arkansas. Southerland scored a career-high 35 points to lead the No. 6 Orange to a 91-82 win over Arkansas on Friday night. The senior, who was also a career-best 9 for 13 on 3-pointers, helped Syracuse (5-0) win in its first visit to Bud Walton Arena. The 6-foot-8 forward bested his former career marks of 22 points, set against Princeton earlier this season, and five 3s, which he had as a freshman against Robert Morris. "It felt good when I hit that first shot," Southerland said. "I wasnt expecting to be that open, but I was open and you have to know it down when youre open, right?" Brandon Triche and Michael Carter-Williams added 17 points each, and C.J. Fair had 12 for Syracuse -- which was 11 of 26 from beyond the arc. Carter-Williams nearly had a triple-double, adding 10 rebounds and nine assists as the Orange pulled away in the second half. BJ Young led the Razorbacks (3-3) with 25 points, 19 in the first half, while Marshawn Powell added 19. The loss was Arkansas third straight, following setbacks against Arizona State and Wisconsin at last weeks Las Vegas Invitational. The Razorbacks difficult early stretch continues Tuesday when they host Oklahoma before travelling to No. 3 Michigan next weekend. "I think the guys were disappointed, without a doubt," Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. "They wanted this game here. "We just want to keep getting better." The Orange led by as many as 15 points in the first half, sparked by Southerlands early onslaught. The 6-foot-8 forward, who hit four 3-pointers in each of his last two games, hit his first five from behind the arc and Syracuse overcame an early onslaught of emotion from the frenzied Razorbacks -- who fed off the crowd of 19,259. Arkansas took a 10-7 lead in the early going, surging ahead behind a two-handed alley-oop dunk by Young off an assist from Ky Madden with 16:46 remaining. The field goal, however, was the last the Razorbacks would make for more than seven minutes -- plenty of time for Southerland to go to work. Following a drive-and-scoop by Triche, Southerland hit his first 3-pointer to give the Orange a 12-10 lead. The baskets ignited a 23-5 run that put Syracuse up 30-15, during which Southerland hit four 3-pointers -- helping offset 19 turnovers for the game. "They did an unbelievable job of pressuring us," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "Youve got to attack it; youre going to get some open shots. "Its just a question of if youre going to make them, and James was right there all night." Arkansas didnt make another field goal until Powells jumper with 9:37 remaining in the half -- a span of 7:09 without a make. However, the Razorbacks roared back behind Young to close the lead to as few as five late in the half. The sophomore scored 11 straight points for Arkansas during one stretch. His personal 9-0 run, which began with a series of one-man fast breaks and was capped by a 3-pointer, pulled the Razorbacks to within 33-28 late in the half. Arkansas closed to 43-41 early in the second half after a free throw by Powell, but the Orange answered with a 14-1 run to go up 57-42 and take control for good. Once again, Southerland sparked the run -- connecting on his sixth and seventh 3-pointers of the game during the stretch. "That dude can shoot that ball now," Powell said of Southerland. "He can shoot that ball for real, for real. "A couple of times, even when I thought I was there, he still hit it." The Razorbacks remained within single digits of Syracuse for much of the rest of the game, though Triche scored 10 straight points during one stretch to keep the Orange comfortably ahead. Syracuse was 33 of 68 (49 per cent) from the field in the win, led by Southerlands 12 of 17 shooting. The senior had 35 of the Oranges 40 points off the bench. Arkansas hit just 24 of 62 shots (39 per cent), including 5 of 24 on 3s. Junior Mardracus Wade ,who led the Southeastern Conference in 3-point shooting last season, was 0 of 4 from behind the arc. "Weve just got to do a better job of knocking shots down," Anderson said. "And we had some open shots. "Its just one of those nights." The meeting was only the second between the two schools, with the other coming during the 1995 NCAA tournament. Arkansas won that second-round game in overtime on the way to its second straight championship game -- where it lost to UCLA. cheap jerseys .Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have released nine players, including receiver David Clowney and linebacker Danny Batten, the teams 2010 sixth-round draft pick. wholesale jerseys .

A person familiar with the deal says its worth $8.2 million, with a signing bonus of $4.47 million. SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres believe they have a special talent in Casey Kelly. The rookie pitcher showed on Saturday night why the Padres insisted on him being included in the Adrian Gonzalez trade with Boston in 2010. Kelly carried a shutout into the seventh inning and Jesus Guzman hit a three-run homer, leading the Padres to a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. Kelly (2-1), making his fourth major league start, kept the Rockies off balance with a mixture of fastballs and curveballs. Colorado advanced just one runner to third base against Kelly through six innings. "You get more and more comfortable every time out there," Kelly said. "Every inning you get you feel more comfortable with the team. I think every outing is just getting more and more comfortable." Kelly looked more like the pitcher who allowed just three hits in six scoreless inning of his major-league debut, a 3-0 win over Atlanta on Aug. 27. In his next two outings, Kelly was hammered for 13 runs -- 11 earned -- on 16 hits over just eight innings. "He had a terrific breaking ball early," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "On his two-strike pitches, he did a great job of making them strikes out of his hand." Colorado finally reached the rookie for three runs in the seventh. Kelly allowed three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits over six-plus innings. He struck out six. "The velocity came back today, a lot of pitches in the low 90s," Padres manager Bud Black said. "The ball had carry and he got his grounders and he got his strikeouts. "He was very efficient." Luke Gregerson pitched a perfect ninth for his eighth save in 12 chances. Rookie Drew Pomeranz (1-9) dropped his sixth straight decision for Colorado, which lost for the eighth time in its last 10 games. The Rockies need to win 10 of their last 18 games to avoid tying the franchises worst record at 67-95. San Diego has won eight of 10 overall and 12 of 15 at Petco Park. Guzman homered to centre in the third inning off Pomeranz to give San Diego a 4-0 lead. "A home run ball that was outside," Pomeranz said. "Sometimes it happens that way. It wasnt a bad pitch. It wasnt even in the strike zone. I donnt know how he hit it so far.dddddddddddd" Padres shortstop Andy Parrino committed a fielding error and Tyler Colvin followed with a single to start the Rockies seventh. Chris Nelson then doubled in one run and Charlie Blackmon had an RBI single to knock Kelly out of the game. Brad Brach came in and gave up DJ LeMahieus sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 4-3 before getting the final two outs. Pomeranz was pulled after three innings with his pitch count at 67. The rookie allowed four runs on four hits with three strikeouts, two walks and a wild pitch. The Rockies have employed a 75-pitch limit on their starters since just past mid-June. San Diego scored in the second inning after a scary collision between second baseman LeMahieu and right fielder Blackmon. With Cameron Maybin on first with a two-out single, Parrino hit a popup into shallow right field. As LeMahieu and Blackmon converged to make the catch, they rammed their shoulders full force into each other. Blackmon fell to the grass, but LeMahieu stayed on his feet and got the ball into the infield as Parrino ended up with a double. NOTES: Pomeranz has failed to finish five innings in eight of his last nine starts. ... The Padres honoured longtime broadcaster Jerry Coleman with a bronze statue at Petco Park before Saturday nights game. ... There was a large star cut into the centre-field grass in honour of one of Colemans catch phrases, "You can hang a star on that." ... Rockies manager Jim Tracy said his team will modify the current 75-pitch limit on starting pitchers next season. The Rockies will move the limit to between 75 and 90-100 pitches. ...

When speaking about the 2013 season, San Diego manager Bud Black said, "The group that youre seeing here, position wise, will be the group youll see coming back." ...
