Technical knockout

FAYETTEVILLE -- Kentucky lost its coach but won the game.

The No. 10-ranked Wildcats rallied to beat the University of Arkansas basketball team 73-66 on Saturday before an announced crowd of 19,200 at Walton Arena after Kentucky Coach John Calipari drew two technical fouls and was ejected with 8:19 left.

Mason Jones hit 3 of 4 free throws resulting from the technicals to give Arkansas a 47-44 lead after the Razorbacks had trailed by 11 points, 38-27, with 18:47 left.

But instead of folding before a frenzied crowd, the Wildcats responded with a 17-2 run to go ahead 61-49 with 2:42 left and regain control.
