Bruce Pearl's Tigers had a hard time getting shots to fall in the first half and despite climbing out to a lead multiple times in the second half, they were not able to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks Tuesday night in overtime. The Hogs won 80-76. 

Auburn falls to 22-2 on the season and suffers their first loss in SEC play on the year. Arkansas wins their ninth game in a row. 

This was Auburn's second loss of the season. Both losses came in over time. The first loss came to UCON in double overtime. 

Wendell Green Jr led Auburn in scoring with 19 points. He went 9-20 from the floor and added five assists on the night. 

Jabari Smith looked crisp for the Tigers scoring 17 points on 5-15 shooting. He made all five of his free throw attempts. 

Walker Kessler had a monster night despite fouling out in overtime. He scored 16 points, added 19 rebounds, and had seven blocks. 

Auburn traveled without their starting point guard Zep Jasper who is expected to return Saturday when Auburn hosts the Texas A&M Aggies. 

Here's a look at some of the best photos from the hard-fought battle between the Tigers and the Razorbacks.
