Both teams exchanged buckets with neither team able to increase its lead by more than four points for several minutes.

The game was tied at 65 with 1:07 to go with the ball in the Razorbacks’ possession, and a tip-in gave them a two-point lead. The Jayhawks drew a foul in the double-bonus, though, and Jalen Wilson made both free throws with 39 seconds left to tie it up again.

Arkansas' Ricky Council IV drew a foul with 23.7 to go, but he only made one of two foul shots. However, Arkansas got the offensive board on the missed second shot, and Council again went to the line after a shooting foul. With 20.4 seconds left, he drilled both free throws to make it a three-point game.
