BJ Young scored 15 points and Arkansas hit its first 11 shots on the way to a 66-64 win over No. 20 Michigan.

Trey Burke missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer, keeping the Razorbacks (14-5) undefeated in Bud Walton Arena this season. It's their second over a ranked opponent at home, following a win over then No. 15 Mississippi State on Jan. 7.

Arkansas built a 34-14 lead on the strength of its early shooting and led 49-33 early in the second half. The Wolverines (15-5) cut the lead to two before the Razorbacks regained control and held on in front of a sellout crowd of 19,050.

Mardracus Wade added 12 points and Rickey Scott and Hunter Mickelson had 11 apiece for Arkansas, which shot 50 percent.
