FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Anthlon Bell has certainly found his shooting touch in Bud Walton Arena.

The Arkansas sophomore's latest career night, his second straight at home, sparked the Razorbacks to a 91-71 win over Indiana State in the opening round of the NIT on Tuesday night.

Bell set a career high with 28 points, an effort that followed a previous-best 23-point effort in a win over Mississippi on March 5, and he finished 11 of 13 from the field in helping the Razorbacks (22-11) win their first NIT game since 1997 - the last time the school was in the tournament.
