FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman doesn’t like to call timeouts, but he made an exception after UNC-Charlotte cut the Razorbacks’ lead from 18 to nine points.

It turned out to be a good call.

The No. 12 Razorbacks beat the 49ers 86-66 on Tuesday night at Walton Arena with a 13-2 run to close the game.

A jump shot by sophomore guard Davonte “Devo” Davis gave Arkansas a 63-45 lead with 11:14 to play, but the 49ers didn’t fold.
