Kentucky Hogwashed at Arkansas as Turnovers Doom Wildcats

arkansas beats kentucky

Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers.

The Kentucky Wildcats committed 18 turnovers and the Arkansas Razorbacks took full advantage as they beat the Wildcats at 73-60 Bud Walton Arena.

As bad as the Wildcats played, they were only down 3 at the half, but a 10-0 run after 2 Alex Poythress free throws to begin the second half was the beginning of the end for Kentucky’s chances of getting a much needed NCAA tournament resume building win.

Ryan Harrow, who only had 3 turnovers in the last 3 games, had 3 in the 9 minutes he played in the 1st half and it really set the tone as the backcourt play was miserable handling the pressure of Arkansas.

Although the Razorbacks only shot 34%, they had 26 more attempts.

Needless to say, Kentucky still has a long way to go to make the NCAA Tournament and winning games is at a premium for a team that is 1-4 vs. top 50 teams in the RPI.
