Eric Musselman’s third Arkansas team entered Saturday’s contest with Kentucky as one of the hottest teams in college basketball. The Hogs were 12-1 in their last 13 games with victories over both Auburn and Tennessee at Bud Walton Arena. The only defeat in that stretch was a one-point loss on the road to Alabama.
Arkansas is getting that excellent play thanks to two legitimate All-SEC candidates — JD Notae and Jaylin Williams. That twosome stole the show at Bud Walton Arena as the duo willed the Hogs to a 75-73 win in front of 19,200 fans in Fayetteville.
