FAYETTEVILLE — In a battle between two bubble teams, Arkansas did just enough to get by Texas and continue inching toward an NCAA Tournament bid Wednesday night.
The Razorbacks saw their 14-point lead midway through the second half get erased, but they eventually put the Longhorns away 86-81 in overtime at Bud Walton Arena to complete a season sweep their old Southwest Conference rival.
Now sitting at 17-11 overall and 6-9 in the SEC, Arkansas moved out of the “Last Four In” and into the Round of 64 in ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi’s latest projection.
