After a dreadful 20-minute stretch on Saturday, the Sooners woke up and found a way to beat Arkansas 65-62 on the road.

The Oklahoma Sooners and Arkansas Razorbacks took similar approaches in practice and got the same result: their first Southeastern Conference wins. The teams meet Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark., and hope their work off the court will put their SEC woes further behind them.

After seven days of rest, Oklahoma will battle a team whose start mirrors the Sooners. OU faces Arkansas on Saturday after having a conference bye earlier in the week. Both the Sooners and Razorbacks picked up their first SEC wins in their last games.
