#19/20 Arkansas Bests the Bears
FAYETTEVILLE – Billy Richmond III had 21 points, nine rebounds and four assists to lead #19/20 Arkansas to a 79-66 victory over in-state foe Central Arkansas Friday night at Bud Walton Arena.
Richmond made a career-high three 3-pointers – on three attempts – and his nine rebounds were one shy of his career best.
Despite Arkansas dominating the stat line, UCA trimmed a 17-point, second-half deficit to six twice (66-60 and 68-62) with 5:13 left and 4:25 left. The Razorbacks regained control with a 9-0 run – a Jeremiah Wilkinson 3-pointer, two free throws by Cooper Bowser, a fastbreak dunk by Richmond and a Bowser layup – to lead by 15 with 1:36 left.
