The Arkansas basketball team overcame a 15-point deficit and nearly gave away an 18-point lead Tuesday night at the world’s most famous arena.
But the Razorbacks made enough plays down the stretch to hold off 14th-ranked Michigan for an 89-87 victory. The game was played as part of the Jimmy V Classic before an announced 14,846 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Arkansas (8-2) defeated a ranked team for the first time under first-year coach John Calipari, and won at Madison Square Garden for the first time since beating Duke 98-88 at the Preseason NIT in November 1990.
