LEXINGTON, Ky. -- No. 4 Kentucky overcame a 15-point second-half deficit to survive a surprising upset bid from the University of Arkansas and pull out a 70-66 victory Tuesday in Rupp Arena.
The Razorbacks made 10 of 20 three-point shots and led 45-30 early in the second half, but they were overtaken by a 24-6 Kentucky run midway through the half led by freshman guard Tyler Herro, who scored a career-high 29 points.
Kentucky (24-4, 13-2 SEC) won its 14th game in its past 15 outings. The Razorbacks (14-14, 5-10) dropped their sixth game in a row.
