You wouldn’t have believed it if you were told midway through the second half that Arkansas would lose to No. 3 Alabama by only four points.
The Tide came roaring out of the locker room after halftime, starting hot and building an 18-point advantage that seemed insurmountable. But on this particular Saturday night, the Razorbacks scratched and clawed to trim the deficit as the clock ticked down.
They had trailed by 15 with four minutes remaining, but exploded for a 12-0 run to cut the margin down to 79-76. An emphatic dunk by Billy Richmond III and a huge three-pointer by Zvonimir Ivisic had their home crowd roaring.
