To say that No. 20 Auburn‘s win over No. 13 Arkansas was much-needed would be an understatement.
Following a too-close-for-comfort win over Florida to open the SEC schedule on Dec. 28, and a disappointing loss to Georgia on Wednesday, Auburn needed a stellar effort to earn a win over the Razorbacks, who feature a roster filled with NBA talent. Using the crowd at Neville Arena as motivation, Auburn took care of Arkansas, 72-59.
