Per ESPN: NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- — Darius Acuff Jr. scored five of his 24 points in overtime and No. 17 Arkansas held off Mississippi 93-90 Saturday to reach the Southeastern Conference Tournament championship game for the eighth time and first since winning the 2020 title.
The third-seeded Razorbacks (25-8) will play No. 22 Vanderbilt, which routed No. 4 Florida earlier Saturday.
Acuff, the SEC’s scoring leader and league’s player and freshman of the year, also had seven assists. Meleek Thomas led Arkansas with 29 points, Trevon Brazile had 16 points with 10 rebounds along with the final free throw and Malique Ewin added 14.
Ole Miss (15-20) ends its improbable run after the 15th-seeded Rebels became the second double-digit seed to win three games at this event, joining Auburn in 2015.
