FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Tyler Ulis scored 24 points to lead four Kentucky players in double figures as the No. 23 Wildcats bounced back from a loss at Auburn with an 80-66 victory at Arkansas on Thursday night.

The win is the first for John Calipari as coach of the Wildcats in Bud Walton Arena, where he improved to 2-4 all-time - including a win with Memphis in 2003.

Jamal Murray added 19 points, Derek Willis 12 and Skai Labissiere 11 for Kentucky (14-4, 4-2 Southeastern Conference), which avoided losing two straight games for the first time since 2014.
