Michael Qualls lifts Arkansas past Kentucky in OT

Michael Qualls slammed home a thundering two-hand rebound dunk with .2 seconds remaining in overtime to send Arkansas to an 87-85 victory over No. 13 Kentucky on Tuesday night.

The win came at a time of desperation for the Razorbacks (12-4, 1-2 Southeastern Conference), who had opened SEC play with two losses. Arkansas has won three straight at home over the Wildcats (12-4, 2-1), whose four-game winning streak was snapped.

Qualls finished with 18 points, none bigger than his last two. Ky Madden had 18 points for Arkansas, while Alandise Harris finished with 12 and Bobby Portis 11.

James Young led Kentucky with 23 points, while Julius Randle had 20 and Aaron Harrison 16.
