Arkansas was down early but continued to fight, cutting its deficit to 10 twice in the second half. The last, the Razorbacks trailed 70-60 with 6:22 left and had two free throws to potentially make it an eight-point game.

The Hogs' hope to avoid an 0-5 SEC start lasted one possession. Jonas Aidoo dunked the ball with authority after winning the jump ball. What followed was symbolic of the season, an absolute collapse on both ends of the floor.
