Arkansas simply has Missouri’s number.
The win is Arkansas’ third of the year over Mizzou and pushes the Hogs forward to the third round where they’ll play the top-ranked team in the nation, South Carolina, Friday at noon.
Arkansas closed overtime on a 13-2 run and held Missouri to 1-of-8 shooting during the stretch. Makayla Daniels, Arkansas’ second leading scorer on the season, had 13 points on 3-of-17 shooting from the floor. From the line, however, she made 6 of her 8 attempts, all of them in overtime. She also had 14 rebounds.
Missouri sent the game to overtime when Haley Troup made a lay-up with 20 seconds left. Amber Ramirez, who led Arkansas with 17 points, had a final opportunity at the rim at the other end, but it missed and the game went to overtime.
Arkansas played South Carolina once earlier in the regular season. The Gamecocks left Bud Walton Arena with a 61-52 win back in mid-January.
