Arkansas failed to land what could have been the knockout punch with two and a half minutes to play. Anthony Black blocked Coleman Hawkins’ cross-court pass and Council missed the fast-break dunk when he would have been better served to lay it in. The blown play left Arkansas coach Eric Musselman striking his arms and screaming.

Devo Davis had 16 points for the Arkansas Razorbacks, who used persistent defense and rebounding to build big leads but couldn’t get comfortable until the final minute. Arkansas (21-13) faces top-seeded Kansas on Saturday in the second round of the West Region.
