NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Arkansas hoped to travel to Nashville to gain their first true road win and bounce back after a disappointing loss to No. 4 Alabama. Instead, they gave up nearly 100 points to a mediocre Vanderbilt team.
The first half was unexpectedly chippy. It started with a hard foul by Kamani Johnson on Vanderbilt’s Myles Stute. Johnson and another Commodore exchanged some words leading to double technical fouls. The game became increasingly physical as halftime grew near, until it climaxed with 49 seconds left in the half.
Anthony Black drove to the basket and drew an “and 1” foul on Quentin Millore-Brown but, Quentin Millore-Brown was the one that ended up on the ground.
