FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas had a 16-point lead erased, but the Razorbacks held on to beat Texas A&M 76-73 in overtime Saturday night at Bud Walton Arena.
Hassan Diarra’s three-point heave went off the rim as time expired in overtime to end a wild, back-and-forth contest. Diarra hit a three-pointer with 9.1 seconds left in regulation to force overtime.
It was the fourth consecutive win for Arkansas (14-5, 4-3 SEC). The Razorbacks avenged an 86-81 loss to the Aggies in College Station, Texas, two weeks earlier and avoided being swept by Texas A&M for the first time since the teams were Southwest Conference opponents in 1985-86.
