COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Desperate for a victory that will resonate with the NCAA Tournament selection committee, the Arkansas Razorbacks brought one home Wednesday night.
Arkansas beat No. 21 South Carolina 83-76 at Colonial Life Arena before an announced crowd of 13,001.
It was the first road victory for Arkansas (19-7, 8-5 SEC) over a nationally ranked team since Feb. 26, 2014, when the Razorbacks beat No. 17 Kentucky 71-67 in overtime at Rupp Arena.
Daryl Macon, a junior guard from Little Rock, hit 4 of 4 free throws in the final 16.6 seconds to clinch the victory.
