Auburn's Losing Streak Is Over

Josh Dollard and Frank Tolbert scored 18 points apiece and Auburn snapped a four-game losing streak with a 67-to-59 victory over Arkansas tonight. The Tigers (15-and-13, 5-and-8 Southeastern Conference) made 8-of-10 free throws over the final one-21 after the Razorbacks threatened a comeback. The win gave Auburn its most victories since going 22-to-16 in 2003 and damaged the Razorbacks' already fading N-C-double-A tournament hopes. Despite a big size disadvantage, Auburn outrebounded the Razorbacks 43-31, led by Korvotney Barber. Arkansas made just 3-of-18 3-point attempts, missing all nine in the first half. The Razorbacks couldn't build on the momentum from a 17-point victory over Mississippi and have lost three of their last four games. The Tigers led by as many as 11 points three times in the first half, then held on for a 32-25 halftime lead. Arkansas scored seven straight points to cut it to three with 1:50 left. Then, Quantez Robertson closed with a fast-break layup and a putback at the buzzer.
