FAYETTEVILLE — After Arkansas took a 74-70 lead over Kentucky with 13.9 seconds to play on a Davonte Davis free throw, the Wildcats quickly inbounded the ball and pushed it across halfcourt.
Their plan was obvious: Try to knock down a three-pointer to pull within one, extend the game and force the Razorbacks to make more free throws. Arkansas guard JD Notae wasn’t on board with that strategy.
Notae defended Kentucky guard Sahvir Wheeler up the floor until Wheeler found TyTy Washington on the right wing for what initially appeared to be a clean look beyond the arc.
