FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas basketball team got a glimpse of life without Daniel Gafford on Tuesday night in Providence, R.I.
For one game at least, it looked pretty good.

SERIES Arkansas leads 2-1
Arkansas never trailed in beating Providence 84-72 in a first-round NIT game at Dunkin' Donuts Center.
"Just a total, total team effort," Razorbacks Coach Mike Anderson said on Arkansas' postgame radio show.
It was the first game the Razorbacks (18-15) played the last two seasons without Gafford, the 6-11 All-SEC first-team sophomore forward who announced Monday that he had declared for the NBA Draft and would skip the NIT.
