THEY SAID IT: "I've had double-doubles, but it's kind of hard for post players to get a lot of assists. I made some passes, and people made shots. That's really all there is to it." ... Arkansas forward Brian Jackson said after scoring 19 points, collecting 14 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists for his first career triple-double in a win over Austin on Tuesday.
