The trilogy of the budding Auburn and Arkansas basketball rivalry took place inside Bridgestone Arena on Thursday night in Nashville, Tenn. in the second round of the SEC Tournament. Tigers' point guard Wendell Green Jr. said leading into the game that they "don't like" Arkansas and referred to it as a rivalry on the rise. Round I went to Arkansas last season knocking off No. 1 Auburn. Round II went to Auburn this season knocking off top-25 Arkansas in January. Round III? To Arkansas, barely. The final: Arkansas 76, Auburn 73.
