With 8:06 to play, it appeared the Arkansas Razorbacks were going to do whatever it took to get the momentum for the first time and squeak out a win.
They trailed 64-50 when they went on an 11-0 run with a pair of threes, two three-point plays and a dunk to make it 64-61 with 6:18 to play.
Hofstra could have fallen apart like a $2 tee shirt.
Instead, they attacked the Razorback rim and pulled back to 74-64 with 2:36 to play and all 10 points were in the paint. Then a three-pointer, only Hofstra’s second of the half, sent a few of the fans headed to the exits.
