DETROIT -- Kelan Martin scored 27 points and Kamar Baldwin added 24 to lift 10th-seeded Butler to a 79-62 victory over seventh-seeded Arkansas in the NCAA Tournament's East Region on Friday.
The Bulldogs (21-13) raced to a 21-2 lead in the opening minutes. Although Arkansas wiped out that entire deficit before halftime, Butler took control again early in the second.
The Bulldogs advance to play second-seeded Purdue on Sunday.
Jaylen Barford scored 15 points for Arkansas, but the Razorbacks (23-12) struggled in the paint -- 6-foot-11 freshman Daniel Gafford managed only two field goals.
