GIF: Last-second dunk in OT by Arkansas spoils Randle's double-double

Kentucky forward Julius Randle finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds but it was not enough to overcome Arkansas, which won 87-85 on a last-second put-back dunk by Michael Qualls in overtime.

Randle also contributed two big blocks in the second half to help Kentucky force overtime. His 20 points were more than the freshman scored in his first two conference games combined.

Randle finished 5-for-11 shooting and was responsible for five of the team's 17 turnovers. He also found himself in foul trouble late in regulation. James Young scored a game-high 23 points for the Wildcats.

Qualls and Rashad Madden each added 18 points to lead the Razorbacks, who earned their first conference victory of the season, improving to 1-2 in the SEC. Bobby Portis had 11 points and 10 rebounds as Arkansas had just six turnovers to offset their dismal 26-for-69 team shooting (6-for-21 from 3-point range).
