Arkansas gave Kentucky all they wanted... and then some. However, the Wildcats with the help of a milestone day for freshman Tyler Herro were able to battle back and fend off the upset-minded Razorbacks by a score of 70-66.
Herro had his best game as a Wildcat, scoring 29 points and shooting the ball at an extremely efficient clip, knocking down 9-10 from the floor including 5-6 from the perimeter and 6-6 from the free throw line.
Kentucky needed it, as Keldon Johnson and PJ Washington combined to shoot 7-21 from the floor and the Razorbacks caught fire from the three-point line.
