What a marathon that was.
Trailing by as many as 15 points in the second half, the No. 7 Auburn Tigers stormed back to take a 73-72 lead with 0:41 remaining in the game. However, a late bucket by Arkansas‘ Nick Smith Jr. and two free throws by Devo Davis pushed the Razorbacks to a 76-73 win in the first round of the SEC Tournament on Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
