Johnson slam lifts Arkansas over Auburn, 57-55

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Delvon Johnson dunked with 6 seconds left to lift Arkansas to a 57-55 win over Auburn on Saturday for a second-straight dramatic win.

Auburn’s Josh Wallace then sent a desperate 3-point attempt off the glass and the rim.

The Razorbacks (18-10, 7-7 Southeastern Conference), who are trying to secure a No. 2 seed in the league tournament, won for the fourth time in five games. That includes a 77-76 overtime win over No. 22 Kentucky on Wednesday night.

Auburn (9-19, 2-12) managed to rally from 13 points down. The Tigers, who also dropped a two-point decision at Alabama on a last-second shot three nights earlier, tied it up on Kenny Gabriel’s layup off a pass from Josh Wallace with 28 seconds left.

Then Julysses Nobles fired a pass inside for the winner to Johnson, who had only six points.

Rotnei Clarke led the Razorbacks with 17 points, including 3-of-7 3-pointers.
