Arkansas basketball welcomes No. 22 Ole Miss to Bud Walton Arena tonight. Here are live updates from the Hogs' SEC home opener.

Predictions and picks as Ole Miss faces Arkansas and John Calipari this college basketball season. Plus, injury updates and the latest news.

Forward Mikeal Brown-Jones is listed as "out" on the official injury report released by the Southeastern Conference prior to Saturday's game. Brown-Jones also missed the entirety of Wednesday's game at Arkansas after suffering an injury early in the conference opener against Georgia.

John Calipari still believes he has a good team, but Arkansas basketball isn't finding enough consistent production through two SEC losses.
