Razorbacks work OT, but come up short again

COLUMBIA, MO. -- Working overtime this week didn't pay off for the University of Arkansas basketball team.

Missouri beat Arkansas 83-79 on Saturday in Mizzou Arena before an announced crowd of 11,439 to hand the Razorbacks their second overtime loss in five days. Auburn beat Arkansas 79-76 in overtime on Tuesday night in Walton Arena.

It's the first time in 97 seasons the Razorbacks (16-7, 4-6 SEC) have suffered overtime losses in back-to-back games, according to the results in the UA media guide.

Arkansas had a one-point lead in overtime in both games.

"It's really disappointing when you have two games right there, primed to win, and you just don't come way with it," Razorbacks senior guard Jimmy Whitt said.
