FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas (17-7, 5-4 SEC) continued a seven-straight win over Auburn (14-8, 3-6) on Sunday, Feb. 4.
Auburn - 72, Arkansas - 74
This victory was just what the Hogs needed after last week's 86-70 loss to Alabama.
After only scoring six points in the first quarter and being down by nine at halftime, the Hogs dropped 31 points in the third to take a commanding lead.
Taliah Scott lead with 33 points and was 11-of-23 from the field. Makayla Daniels finished with 15 of her own.
This win puts Arkansas one game above .500 in conference play.
In tandem with recognizing National Girls and Women in Sports Day, Sunday's game also honored the former head coach of the North Carolina State University women's basketball team, Sandra Kay Yow.
The Play4Kay game unites players, coaches, officials, and fans by donating to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund in efforts to support research and extend the quality of life for those battling cancer.
For the occasion, the Arkansas team sported white jerseys with pink razor stripes, alongside fans who also wore pink.
Arkansas heads on the road to face Florida on Thursday, Feb. 8. The Hogs will be back at Bud Walton Arena to host Missouri Sunday, Feb. 18.
