"TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Houston Mallette hit a 3-pointer with 51 seconds remaining in the second overtime and No. 25 Alabama survived one of the best single-game performances of the season to edge 20th-ranked Arkansas 117-115 on Wednesday night. Arkansas freshman Darius Acuff Jr. scored 49 points - the second most in college basketball this season - while playing all 50 minutes."
"Labaron Philon Jr. scored 35 points and Aiden Sherrell added 26 - both career highs - to help Alabama win its fifth consecutive game. Arkansas, meanwhile, lost for the first time in four games. Acuff's 49 points are the second most by an Arkansas player and the most by an Arkansas player in SEC play. Alabama trailed by 14 in the second half, but an 18-4 run tied the game."
Alabama prevailed 117-115 over Arkansas in a second-overtime thriller after Houston Mallette hit a 3-pointer with 51 seconds remaining in the extra period. Arkansas freshman Darius Acuff Jr. scored 49 points while playing all 50 minutes, nearly delivering a road upset but missing late jumpers in both overtimes. Arkansas used a seven-man rotation, saw four players foul out in overtime, and was forced to play reserves with minimal minutes. Labaron Philon Jr. scored 35 and Aiden Sherrell added a 26-point career high as Alabama rallied from a 14-point second-half deficit. Arizona rebounded by beating BYU behind bench scoring from Anthony Dell'Orso and Ivan Kharchenkov.
