FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas sophomore guard Rotnei Clarke was named the first Southeastern Conference men’s basketball player of the week for the 2009-10 season, it was announced by the league office on Monday.

Clarke lit up the Bud Walton Arena nets for a school-record 51 points on way to a blowout of Alcorn State, 130-68. Clarke set two Arkansas, one SEC and four Bud Walton Arena records in the win. His 51 points eclipsed the 36-year-old school scoring record of Martin Terry (47 in 1973) and his 13 three-point baskets broke Al Dillard’s (12 in 1993) Arkansas and SEC record for threes in a game.

Clarke’s Walton Arena records included points by a Razorback (Al Dillard, 39, 1993), points by any player (Jodie Meeks, Kentucky, 45, 2009), field goals made (Al Dillard, 13, 1993) and three-point baskets made (Al Dillard, 12, 1993).

Clarke’s SEC player of the week is his first and the first by a Razorback since Mike Washington was named the player of the week on Jan. 5.

The Razorback are on the road for their next contest, a Tuesday night affair with No. 19 Louisville at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
