M ost recent meeting
Antonio Reeves lit up Fayetteville by hitting 12 of 17 shots, 2 of 4 3-pointers and all 11 of his free throws en route to a career-high 37 points as No. 23 Kentucky scored an 88-79 win at Arkansas on March 4, 2023, in the regular-season finale.
Enhancing the impressiveness of Reeves’ performance is that, due to injuries, UK played the game without a true point guard and largely used Jacob Toppin as a “point forward.”
