Guard Manuale Watkins finished with 13 and Bell had 13.
Hudson, in his third game back since serving a season-opening five-game suspension, scored 13 of Wake Forest's points as the Demon Deacons built a 32-23 lead in slightly more than 11 minutes.
The margin grew to as much as 11 points before a 48-39 halftime score. Arkansas overcame a 14-point hole in the second half to take a 66-65 lead on Hannahs' three-point play with 8:45 left.
Mitoglou, who scored all his points in the second half, gave the Demon Deacons the lead back with a 3-pointer on the next possession and Thomas converted on a three-point play to make it 71-66.
