Rotnei Clarke scored 19 points to lead Arkansas to a 66-56 victory over Southeast Missouri State in a non-conference matchup Wednesday.

Southeast Missouri State cut the lead to 34-33 on a 3-pointer by Lucas Nutt, but that only served to wake up Arkansas. The Razorbacks went on a 14-2 run to build a 48-35 lead.

Leon Powell had 12 points and seven rebounds for the Redhawks (0-5). Marcus Brister and Anthony Allison both had 10 points for Southeast Missouri, which shot 32 percent (19 of 59) from the field.

Arkansas, which has won the first three games of a season-opening eight-game homestand, was outrebounded 44-29, but forced Southeast Missouri into 23 turnovers and blocked 10 shots.
