FAYETTEVILLE -- Malica Monk waited until the last moment, even the last second, to bail out Arkansas on Monday.
Monk, a freshman guard from North Little Rock found herself in just the right spot, scoring on a stickback just before the final horn sounded,as Arkansas survived a fourth-quarter meltdown to escape with a 57-56 SEC victory against Vanderbilt in front of an announced crowd of 1,523 at Walton Arena.
Vanderbilt led 56-55 after Christa Reed made the first of two free throws with 9.9 seconds to play. Khadijah West rebounded the missed attempt and passed it to Jordan Danberry, who dribbled up the floor and missed a 15-foot jumper with 3.
