SAN FRANCISCO — The Arkansas men’s basketball team led Texas Tech by 16 points with 10:23 remaining in regulation.
Nelly Davis had just hit a three-pointer coming off a screen from Jonas Aidoo to put the team ahead 61-45, and the traveling Razorback faithful at Chase Center made their presence known.
It appeared, at the time, that an all-SEC Elite Eight was in the cards Saturday. Top-seeded Florida defeated fourth-seeded Maryland 87-71 earlier in the evening.
But by the time D.J. Wagner’s heave at the overtime buzzer clanked the rim, Arkansas’ season ended with an 85-83 loss to the Red Raiders.
