NOTABLE Arkansas freshman guard Desi Sills and sophomore forward Gabe Osabuohien made their first career starts last Saturday against Texas A&M in place of Mason Jones and Adrio Bailey, but Mike Anderson said Monday he wasn’t sure about the starting lineup for Kentucky … The Razorbacks have lost six consecutive games to the Wildcats since sweeping Kentucky 87-85 and 71-67 — both overtime games — during the 2013-14 season … Anderson is 3-7 against Kentucky at Arkansas … The Razorbacks have lost five consecutive games — the longest streak in Anderson’s 17 seasons as a head coach. Arkansas last won 69-66 over Vanderbilt three weeks ago … Kentucky is 15-1 in Rupp Arena this season. The loss was to LSU, 73-71 … Arkansas is 3-14 all-time at Kentucky … The Wildcats’ most-lopsided margin of victory against Arkansas is 31 points, 101-70, on Jan. 23, 2010 when John Pelphrey — who played at Kentucky — was the Razorbacks’ coach … Kentucky senior forward Reid Travis, a graduate transfer from Stanford, is doubtful for tonight’s game because of a knee injury. He is averaging 11.3 points and 6.9 rebounds in 26 games.
