Auburn Tigers 90, Arkansas Razorbacks 86: Rock Bottom

12-14, 5-8

Arkansas scored 86 points at home and lost. Lost to a bad Auburn team. An Auburn team that had lost seven straight games. An Auburn team that had only reached 90 points twice before, both in cupcake non-conference games.

KenPom gave Arkansas an 89% chance of winning this game and they lost. This was supposed to be Arkansas' easy bounce back game after some historically awful performances last week in Mississippi, Mike Anderson even said as much after the game, and the team showed up offensively but not defensively. It was the first time Arkansas has scored this many points in regulation in an SEC game and still lost since 1996, 20 years ago.
