Arkansas overcame a 9-point deficit in the fourth quarter and beat Tulsa 57-50 Wednesday at Donald W. Reynolds Center.
The Razorbacks (7-0) finished the game on a 17-2 run after the Golden Hurricane took a 48-40 lead with 7:08 remaining. Tulsa didn't score again until 4 seconds left in the game.
Arkansas took a 49-48 lead on Jailyn Mason's layup with 2:42 remaining and extended the lead to 54-48 on Jessica Jackson's 3-pointer with 28 seconds left.
“This was a huge win on the road for us," Arkansas coach Jimmy Dykes said. "We’re 7-0 and we continue to find a way to win games. We didn’t play great, but I think we beat a good team on the road. Our defense in that fourth quarter was the difference.
"We kept talking to our kids about hanging in there and to keep grinding, get stops and get boards, get stops and get boards. I don’t think we ever talked about our offense in the fourth quarter. It was all about defense and rebounds.”
Jackson scored a game-high 22 points and had 9 rebounds. Bailey Zimmerman added 11 points for the Razorbacks.
Shug Dickson scored 14 points to lead Tulsa (2-5).
Arkansas is scheduled to host Texas Tech on Saturday in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
