The Kentucky Wildcats and Arkansas Razorbacks are halfway home in Fayetteville. Arkansas started fast, jumping out to an early 11-0 lead but the Wildcats battled back to tie the game at 43-43.

Kentucky got a big boost from 25 first half bench points, led by Quade Green with 8 points. When the Wildcats were struggling, Green and Jarred Vanderbilt (6 points) entered to help settle Kentucky in.

His numbers will not show it but Kevin Knox hit big shots to keep Kentucky in the game in the first half. He shot just 3-of-9 from the floor but finished the half with 11 points, including two three-pointers.
