How sweet it is: Arkansas moves on to NCAA Tournament's third round

University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman was munching on pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and jalapeno peppers Sunday night after his basketball team played Texas Tech.

The pizza probably tasted as sweet to Musselman as ice cream with chocolate sauce and sprinkles.

The Razorbacks are headed to the Sweet 16 for the first time in 25 years after beating the Red Raiders 68-66 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Arkansas (24-6) advanced to play Oral Roberts — which beat Florida 81-78 on Sunday — in the South Region semifinals.

It will be the first Sweet 16 game for the Razorbacks since 1996 but second for Musselman in the last three NCAA Tournaments that have been held.
