FAYETTEVILLE -- Just when it looks like the University of Arkansas basketball team is off the NCAA Tournament bubble for good, the Razorbacks find a way to get back on it.
Arkansas beat LSU 99-90 on Wednesday night in Walton Arena before an announced crowd of 15,169 for a victory critical to the Razorbacks' NCAA Tournament hopes.
"We knew we had to win tonight for sure," Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman said.
The Razorbacks (19-11, 7-10 SEC) bounced back from a 99-89 loss at Georgia on Saturday.
"We needed to get a win to get back alive on the NCAA Tournament bubble list," said junior guard Mason Jones, who led Arkansas with 36 points.
