Heart over discipline: Kentucky survives tech storm to top Arkansas
TL;DR
Kentucky beat Arkansas 85-77 despite three straight second-half technicals on Garrison, Diobate, and Mark Pope that swung momentum; the Wildcats’ fight and undaunted spirit kept them ahead, and Pope said he’d like to clean up the discipline but wouldn’t trade the heart of the team, while Arkansas added a late Malique Ewin technical and a Trevon Brazile Flagrant 1 as the game closed.
