FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas wiped out a 17-point second-half deficit thanks to a huge effort by sophomore Chelsea Dungee, but Auburn still escaped with a 75-72 Southeastern Conference win on Sunday afternoon at Bud Walton Arena.
Auburn made 5-of-6 free throws in the final 22.2 seconds and withstood Arkansas’ final possession after the Razorbacks had taken their first lead of the second half with 1:39 left in the fourth quarter.
Arkansas (16-9, 5-6 in the SEC) has now lost four straight, but Auburn coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said Dungee, who scored 32 of her game-high 41 points in the second half, made it tough on her team, which led 60-47 after three quarters.
