At 5-9 in conference (16-11 overall), head coach John Calipari’s Razorbacks are doing everything they can to make it back to the NCAA Tournament. Going into Saturday, they knew a win over No. 15 Mizzou would provide a great resume boost.

As they say, basketball is a game of runs, and Alabama and Arkansas each had a massive run in the second half. After halftime, Alabama came out firing on all cylinders going on a 22-8 run giving them an 18-point lead with 12:17 left on the clock. It looked like Arkansas was dead in the water, with little hope of a comeback.

We had 18 turnovers that went to their 30 points,” coach Dennis Gates said. “We shot 17 free throws, made 13. They shot 37 and made 28. That’s the game."
