Kentucky and Arkansas were in a back-and-forth slugfest in the second half of the Saturday afternoon game on CBS. It was feeling like ’95 the way the Cats and the Hogs were trading blows until the fight was decided by a costly turnover with a minute to go.
Kentucky was down one with the ball when Keion Brooks was whistled for an offensive foul on an inbound play. The call was a career highlight for Doug Shows, who was dying to blow that whistle. Arkansas got to the line on the other end and stretched the lead to three with 36 seconds left, followed by Brooks’ missed 3-point attempt to tie the game.
