What’s that old phrase? You can only go up once you hit rock bottom?
Something like that, anyway.
The Sooners went on a 14-2 run to close the first half and Arkansas was toast after that, only cutting the lead to single digits a couple times and watching as OU built its lead to as many as 19 points.
Arkansas’ nonconference schedule was tough – Oklahoma, Memphis, North Carolina, Duke, Stanford – but with only a 2-3 record in those five games, the Razorbacks’ resume for the NCAA Tournament outside of SEC play is lacking. And that’s assuming Arkansas wins its next three, its final three, noncon games before playing Auburn to kick off league play in early January.
Fans – at least, Arkansas fans – were disappointed and frustrated afterward. Check out some of the most SFW Twitter/X reactions.
