A 31-point performance from National Player of the Year candidate Johni Broome helped, but for a second straight game Auburn was a force on the offensive glass. The Tigers grabbed 17 offensive rebounds, leading to 17 second chance points, a big stat in what finished as a 12-point game.

The Razorbacks battled back from a 54-45 deficit with 6:29 left, outscoring Auburn 13-3 to take their first lead, 58-57, since early in the first half on a driving layup by Nelly Davis with 3:06 left, silencing the home crowd.
