The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers rallied late in regulation and used strong defense to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks in overtime 86-79 on Saturday night in Bowling Green, Ky. Western Kentucky’s defense did not allow another made field goal, giving Arkansas its first loss of the season. Sills pushed that lead to 70-64 on another made jumper with 1:03 left, and it appeared Western Kentucky (7-3) was done. Then came the night’s biggest play: The Razorbacks’ Isaiah Joe gathered the inbound pass and barreled into a Western Kentucky defender for an offensive foul. With 8:47 remaining in the game, Arkansas led 55-51, but Western Kentucky limited the Razorbacks to just three points in the next four minutes.
