Big stick-back

Arkansas guard Stanley Umude cleaned up a missed front end of a one-and-one free throw opportunity by JD Notae to put Arkansas ahead 63-58 with 22 seconds remaining.

Notae’s free throw came up short off the front of the rim and the Tigers’ Alex Fudge and Tari Eason collided into each other while battling Au’Diese Toney for the rebound on the right block. Umude, gliding in from the left block, collected the loose ball and converted an unguarded layup for a five-point lead.

“That’s the first free throw offensive rebound we’ve given up all year,” LSU Coach Will Wade said on the LSU Sports Network. “Look, give Arkansas credit. They made a bunch of plays and we couldn’t close the game out.”
