FAYETTEVILLE — Hot-shooting Vanderbilt set fire to Arkansas' postseason hopes Tuesday.
The short-handed Commodores used a 19-0 run early in the first half to stun the Razorbacks and create enough cushion to cruise to a 72-59 win in front of 8,036 at Bud Walton Arena.
Arkansas (17-7, 6-5 SEC) lost for the third time in four games, with two straight losses to teams ranked near the bottom of the SEC standings. The Commodores entered the game in a four-way tie for ninth in the conference.
Vanderbilt (12-12, 5-6) made 12 3-pointers, including 10 of 15 attempts before halftime.
