Despite Ivisic, Davis and Thiero all having two fouls for the final two minutes and only scoring two points in the final six minutes of the first half, Arkansas was able to quell the high-powered Alabama offense to just seven points over that same stretch. The Tide came into the night averaging an SEC-best 90.2 points a game.

On a day when the nation’s top two teams fell, No. 3 Alabama avoided the same fate, edging Arkansas 85-81 in a hard-fought SEC clash at Bud Walton Arena. The Razorbacks clawed back from an 18-point deficit, but the Crimson Tide’s efficient shooting and balanced scoring proved too much to overcome.
