With the Sweet 16 making its way to the Chase Center in San Francisco, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry pulled up to watch No. 4 seed Arkansas upset top-seeded Gonzaga 74-68 on Thursday.
Of course, Curry was ruled out for at least two weeks on March 18 after suffering a left foot injury. He did not join the Warriors on their current five-game East Coast road trip and had the opportunity to watch the contest between the two teams.
The Razorbacks entered the contest winless in 10 tries versus No. 1 seeds, but held the Bulldogs in check and limited most of their key players to win. JD Notae scored a team-high 21 points to lead the Razorbacks while Jaylin Williams and Trey Wade each had 15 points.
Arkansas will now face either Duke or Texas Tech in the Elite Eight.

All-American Drew Timme led Gonzaga with 25 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Meanwhile, All-American Chet Holmgren battled through foul trouble and eventually fouled out in 23 minutes of work. He finished with 11 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks.
The game likely marked the last for the two players as they look ahead to the NBA draft. Timme is currently projected to be a second-round pick while Holmgren is in the conversation to be the top selection on June 23.
They have until April 24 to declare for the NBA draft.
