NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ De'Aaron Fox scored 18 points, and No. 8 Kentucky won
its third straight Southeastern Conference Tournament championship by beating
Arkansas 82-65 on Sunday.

The Wildcats (29-5) added their 30th tournament title all-time to their 48
regular season championships in convincing fashion.

The Razorbacks couldn't string together points the way they usually do, not
with Kentucky answering every big bucket with its own run. The big spurt came as
Kentucky scored 13 straight points to end the first half and into the opening
minute of the second that turned a three-point lead to a 46-30 edge.

Arkansas (25-9) fell to 1-6 in this championship, having lost to Kentucky for
the second time in three years.
