– Arkansas, seeded third and ranked 10th, survived and advanced to the school’s first Elite Eight since 1995 on Saturday night in Bankers Life Arena thanks to a heart-stopping, roller coaster 72-70 win over #15 seed Oral Roberts.

The Razorbacks (25-6) battled back from a seven-point halftime deficit that ballooned to 12 in the second half to be all square at 70-70 with under a minute remaining. Jalen Tate’s drive to the basket was cut off in the late but the senior found Davonte Davis, who made a move around his defender and sank a jumper to give Arkansas a two-point lead with 3.1 seconds left. The nation’s leading scorer Max Abmas’ 3-point shot bounced off the rim as time expired to send the Hogs back to the Elite Eight in over 25 years.
Arkansas is now 11-1 when playing in the NCAA Sweet 16. Arkansas will be making its 11th Elite 8 appearance and first since 1995 – the year Arkansas was national runner-up.
Davonte Davis’ game-winning basket with 3.1 seconds is Arkansas’ first that since US Reeder hit a halfcourt shot at the buzzer to beat Louisville and send Arkansas to the Sweet 16 in 1981.

It's going to be a fun game. Arkansas can beat anyone when they're hot.

I never watch Sportscenter anymore, but I just turned it on and the host said that Baylor/Arkansas are former SWAC rivals.
This is why I never watch.

I wish this was the earlier game. 10:00 ET tip off is tough.

The problem is the "journalists" that cover sports don't actually watch sports anymore. They're nerds with a degree in journalism that took whatever job they could get.
