Here's how it happened inside Neville Arena as the Tigers got their first SEC victory against John Calipari and the Razorbacks .

Though fingers of blame could be pointed in a multitude of directions, the Arkansas basketball team’s 95-73 loss at Auburn seemingly boiled down to one overarching theme. The two squads played with different levels of urgency Saturday night at Neville Arena.

John Calipari said Arkansas didn’t match Auburn’s physical play inside and missed key details in a 95-73 road loss.

The 22-point final margin of victory for Auburn ties for the fourth-largest in a win over Arkansas in the history of the series, which includes over 60 games across several decades. After two tries and two fails, Auburn finally has its first win in SEC play -- in emphatic fashion.
