FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas' Patrick Beverley scored 25 points and the Razorbacks gave coach Stan Heath his 100th career victory in a 68-56 win over Oral Roberts.

Beverley was 13-15 from the free-throw line in the 2nd half, but also came up with big shots for Arkansas (9-3) down the stretch to help keep the Golden Eagles (5-6) from getting close Friday night.

The Golden Eagles were paced mostly by forward Caleb Green, who scored 23 points and pulled down 15 of his team's 36 rebounds. Ken Tutt was ORU's only other player scoring in double figures, with 15 points.

The Razorbacks outscored ORU 32-14 in the paint and also got 45 of their points from the bench.

Arkansas trailed ORU 26-24 at the half, but after taking the lead early in the 2nd half, put together two stretches that kept the Golden Eagles from getting in front again.
