KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ Anton Beard scored 16 points and Arkansas hit its free
throws down the stretch to erase an early 13-point deficit and outlast Tennessee
82-78.
Arkansas (12-2, 1-1 SEC) has beaten Tennessee (8-6, 1-1) five straight times
for the longest winning streak by either team in the 38-game history of this
series.
The Volunteers trailed 71-64 with 2:52 left when Arkansas’ Moses Kingsley
missed the front end of a one-and-one to set the stage for a Tennessee rally.
Tennessee got to within 71-70 with 1:50 remaining when Robert Hubbs dunked on a
fast break after Grant Williams blocked a Kingsley shot on the other end of the
floor.
Tennessee cut the lead to one again on Detrick Mostella’s 3-point play with
24.7 seconds left, but Daryl Macon went 6 of 6 on free throws the rest of the
way to seal the victory.
