No. 16 Arkansas earned a tight win over Auburn in Auburn Arena on Thursday night, beating the Tigers 74-69 in the regular season road finale.
With the win, Arkansas has now won four straight, and seven of its last eight games dating back to January 28.
The win also guaranteed Arkansas a winning record in the SEC this season, marking the first time in program history the Hogs have had back-to-back winning conference seasons.
Sophomore guard Makayla Daniels played hero in this one, scoring nine of her 11 points in the fourth quarter, including a dagger three off the dribble to put Arkansas up four late. After not seeing the floor much in the early parts of the game due to foul trouble, Daniels exploded late in the fourth, converting a three-point play chance before hitting two threes to put the Hogs ahead for good.
