FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Even with all the new faces on the court, it was old reliable Dusty Hannahs who helped Arkansas when it needed it the most.Hannahs scored 23 points to lead six players in double figures as the re-tooled Razorbacks (1-0) opened their season with a 92-83 win over IPFW on Friday night.The senior led Arkansas with an average of 16.5 points per game a year ago, but coach Mike Anderson added a trio of top junior college recruits in a push for immediate improvement following a disappointing 16-16 record last season.Despite the new-look roster, it was Hannahs who once again took on a leading role when the Razorbacks fell behind by six points to the Mastodons (0-1) in the first half. He finished 7 of 17 from the field and 8 of 10 on free throws.Thats the way its supposed to be, Anderson said. ... Those (older) guys have got to show these guys the way.Daryl Macon, one of Arkansas junior college newcomers, added 13 points while Anton Beard had 12. Preseason Southeastern Conference Player of the Year Moses Kingsley finished with nine points, nine rebounds and seven blocks despite being in foul trouble in the first half.Jaylen Barford, Dustin Thomas and Manuale Watkins finished with 10 points each for the Razorbacks.John Konchar led IPFW with 17 points, one of five in double figures. Kason Harrell added 14 points, while Mo Evans and Bryson Scott had 13 each and Xzavier Taylor 12 for the Mastodons.We came here to win the game, IPFW coach Jon Coffman said. Im obviously very disappointed.The Mastodons led by as many as six points in the first half, taking a 36-30 lead after a 3-pointer by Evans. The shot lifted IPFW to 6 of 10 on 3-pointers, but they were 0 for 8 from behind the arc after that to end the half.Arkansas took advantage of the cold-shooting stretch, answering with an 18-4 run to go up 48-40 late in the half. Hannahs had a 3-pointer and Watkins added a basket on the break to cap the run.We got kind of stagnant at times, but we just kept playing our game and got the pace back up to our liking, Hannahs said. I thought we were at our strength, obviously, when we were running and pushing the ball against them.BIG PICTUREDespite earning the season-opening win over the preseason pick to win the Summit League, Arkansas exits the game with continued questions about its rebounding ability and defensive play. A year after finishing 247th in the country by allowing opponents to average 74.7 points per game, the Razorbacks were outrebouned 45-39 -- allowing 21 offensive rebounds by IPFW and 21 second-chance points.JUNIOR COLLEGE IMPACTMacon and Barford were the top two junior college recruits in the country last season, and they both paid immediate dividends on Friday night. In addition to his 13 points, Macon also had seven rebounds, five assist and four steals, while Barford added five rebounds and four assists.TIP-INSKingsley scored seven of his points in the second half, helping the Razorbacks outscore the Mastodons 52-22 in the paint ... The seniors seven blocks were one off his career of eight, which came against Tennessee Tech last season ...

We aint gonna be that team. Were not going to be the team that busts (the Browns streak). Nobody in the league wants that to happen (to them), no.Thomas faked disgust and anger when told about Dareus promise.I hate that guy! Thomas yelled through a smile. Im gonna kill him!Thomas, though, got somewhat serious when explaining the motivation behind Dareus pledge as its the same thing driving the Browns, who dont want to be remembered along with the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only 0-16 teams.The mindset were going to have is just the same way, he said. Were going to make them the team we break the streak on, so I think thats, as a football player, our competitive nature, thats the way we train ourselves to think every single week because you want to go in on that Sunday expecting to win.The Bills understand whats at stake. Two straight losses and five in their past seven games have damaged a promising season.They neeed to win out to have any chance of making the playoffs, so a loss to the Browns would be doubly devastating.ddddddddddddWe cant let that happen, wide receiver Sammy Watkins said. Itll look bad on everybody, not just Rex, but the organization, the players. Weve got to come out ready to fight and play a full battle because theyre going to come out and try to beat us.Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III, who will make just his second start since Sept. 11, isnt expecting any sympathy from the Bills.In fact, he believes theyll be more focused than if they were playing a 3-10 team.No one wants to be that team that gets beat by us because we dont have any wins right now, and everyone knows it, Griffin said.No one is just going to walk out there on the field and give us a win and say, `Here you go. We feel sorry for you. We will give you guys a win. Everyone is trying to kick us while we are down, so we are going to have to go take it.We are going to get everybodys best shot because nobody wants to lose to us. It is just a matter of us going out and putting a full game together.Thomas fondly recalled a visit to Buffalo in 2009, when the Browns beat the Bills 6-3 despite completing just two passes.The win snapped a 10-game losing streak dating to the previous season and was Clevelands only victory in a 1-11 start.It was like winning the Super Bowl, he said. That win was an awesome moment even though it was insignificant in the grand scheme of things, so certainly when we get that first win its going to be an exciting moment in the locker room for the players, probably only the players because it doesnt matter to anyone else. Were really battling hard to get that first win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
