A second look

FAYETTEVILLE -- Given a second chance to hit a game-winning shot, Keyshawn Embery-Simpson didn't turn it down.

Embery-Simpson, a freshman guard, hit a three-point basket with 14.8 seconds left to lift the University of Arkansas to a 69-66 victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday night in Walton Arena before an announced crowd of 6,347.

After senior guard Joe Toye hit a three-pointer to give Vanderbilt a 66-64 lead with 39.4 seconds left, Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson called timeout with 34 seconds left and put Embery-Simpson into the game for forward Gabe Osabuohien.

The Razorbacks worked the ball around and twice got it inside to 6-11 sophomore Daniel Gafford, but both times he was double-teamed and passed the ball to Embery-Simpson on the wing beyond the three-point line.
