For most of the first game in the SEC Tournament’s Thursday night session, it looked like the Arkansas Razorbacks would cruise to the quarterfinals with a stress-free win over Auburn. Arkansas led by 15 points with 14 minutes to go in the game and a comeback by the 7-seeded Tigers seemed very unlikely.
But then the unlikely happened and Auburn flipped the script with nine straight points by KD Johnson to cut into the lead. With three minutes to go, the Arkansas lead was down to two. Then one. Then Allen Flanigan put Auburn ahead with 39 seconds to go, completing the improbable comeback effort, at least for a moment.
