Kansas State coach Bruce Weber didn’t expect to see an explosive start from No. 13 Arkansas on Monday night.
It wasn't something the Razorbacks had done this season.
But Arkansas jumped out to an 18-point first-half lead before fending off the Wildcats 72-64 in the nightcap of the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City, Mo.
The win sent Arkansas (4-0) into a Tuesday night championship game with Cincinnati (5-0), which routed No. 14 Illinois 71-51 in the opener.

“They came out and attacked us, they were in attack mode their pressure was, you know, really good," Weber said.
