FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas junior Kiara Williams hit two free throws with 5.7 seconds left Tuesday night to secure the win for the Razorbacks women’s basketball team, as they held on to beat Big Ten Conference foe Nebraska 84-80 in Bud Walton Arena.
Nebraska’s Sam Haiby had a chance to tie the game for the Cornhuskers with 10 seconds left, but missed a layup, allowing Williams to secure the rebound and got fouled.
Sophomore Chelsea Dungee scored 20 of her game-high 23 points in the second half, leading five Razorbacks in double-digit scoring.
After beginning the game ice cold from the floor — making just two of its first 16 shots — Arkansas trailed 15-2 with 3 minutes, 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
