Bright future awaits Knox, Razorbacks next season

Arkansas basketball's (22-14, 8-10 SEC) roller-coaster season came to an unfortunate end Thursday in the NCAA Tournament, but plenty of hope remains for the future of the program. For starters, the Razorbacks may return star freshman guard Karter Knox. The 6-foot-6 wing from Florida started SEC play slowly, but he scored double-digit points in 3-of-5 postseason matchups (SEC Tournament included) with 15 points and 20 points against St. John's and Texas Tech, respectively.

Texas Tech rallies from 16 points down to beat Arkansas 85-83 in OT

Darrion Williams scored the tiebreaking basket with 7.3 seconds left in overtime after tying the game with a 3-pointer in the closing seconds of regulation to lead Texas Tech to an 85-83 win over Arkansas on Thursday night and a spot in the Elite Eight. The first overtime game of March Madness came thanks to a furious comeback by the third-seeded Red Raiders (28-8) from 16 points down midway through the second half against coach John Calipari’s 10th-seeded Razorbacks (22-14). Texas Tech advanced to play top-seeded Florida in the West Region final on Saturday.
