Overview
- Arkansas erased a late five-point deficit with a 6-0 burst over the final 73 seconds to win 84-83.
- Freshman Meleek Thomas scored a career-high 26 points and forced Daylen Berry’s contested miss at the horn.
- Nick Pringle’s go-ahead layup with 11.9 seconds left was followed by an entanglement with Logan Duncomb that resulted in offsetting technicals.
- NCAA bench-leaving rules led to two ejections per team, and Duncomb’s technical also became his fifth foul.
- Winthrop stayed in front much of the night behind 15-for-31 three-point shooting, led by Kareem Rozier’s 23 points and seven made threes.
