Arkansas upsets Canada's Nembhard, top-ranked Gonzaga to advance to Elite 8

JD Notae scored 21 points despite missing 20 shots and fourth-seeded Arkansas made Gonzaga miserable on both ends of the floor, bouncing the top overall seed from the NCAA Tournament with a 74-68 win on Thursday night.

Notae finished with six rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocked shots for coach Eric Musselman's scrappy, hustling Razorbacks (28-8), who reached the Elite Eight for the second straight year and will face either Duke or Texas Tech in the West Region final on Saturday.

Drew Timme scored 25 points but couldn't rally the Bulldogs (28-4), who for the second straight season were favoured to win that elusive national title but were eliminated by a more physical foe. Coach Mark Few's squad was undefeated last year before falling to Baylor in the national title game.

Canada's Andrew Nembhard finished with seven points, seven rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes in what as a rough offensive night for Gonzaga.
