Auburn kept it close, but sloppy play down the stretch and a little too much youth and newness gave the game away as the Tigers fell to Arkansas tonight 97-85.
Arkansas got a huge game from its start, including 20+ point efforts from Desi Sills and J.D. Notae, while the Tigers had a more even scoring effort that unfortunately didn’t include much in the paint. Auburn did a fantastic job of shooting, but also missed several opportunities at the foul line, which didn’t translate to success in this close game. Turnovers also spelled doom for the Tigers, as they lost that battle 19-10.
