Last December, Murray State upset Kentucky in Lexington. Eleven months later, the Racers came three points shy of pulling off another SEC shocker.

Arkansas, who led 55-31 with 6:00 to go in the third quarter, nearly saw that lead evaporate down the stretch as the Razorbacks held off Murray State 82-79. (You can see the box score here.)
