The Arkansas Razorbacks were able to pick up their 20th win of the season in dramatic fashion over Auburn to advance in the SEC Tournament.
After leading by as much as 15 points in the second half, Arkansas let the Tigers storm back to take a 73-72 lead with just 41 seconds left. However, unlike earlier in the season, the Razorbacks were able to turn to star freshman Nick Smith Jr. who knocked down the go-ahead bucket – a 15-foot baseline jumper – with just 20 seconds left. The basket helped lift the Hogs to a 76-73 win.
As had happened many times this season, Arkansas blew a huge lead in the second half. This time, though, the Razorbacks were able to hang on and actually walk away victorious. Could this be what sparks a magical March run? Only time will tell.
Social media was very active during and after Arkansas’ win, and here’s some of the best reactions from a thrilling Thursday night in Nashville.
I mean this with all of my heart…I will be so glad to be done watching this team play.

With that win, Arkansas moves to 20-12. It’s the fourth straight year the Razorbacks have won 20+ games. Head coach Eric Musselman has won at least 20 games every season as a college head coach. His streak now extends to eight seasons.

Y’all either about this Hog life, or you have cardiac muscle left. There is no in between.

Arkansas did everything right tonight except its carelessness with the basketball. Every Hog who played (nine) had a turnover. Auburn had just 10 (seemed like more) total. Hogs had 19, gave them 9 extra possessions. Black had 5.

Since #Arkansas joined the SEC in 1991-92, Anthony Black is just the 3rd @RazorbackMBB player to get 19+ points, 6+ rebounds and 6+ assists in a game played in the month of March, joining Mason Jones (2020 vs Vandy) and JD Notae (2022 vs Gonzaga)https://t.co/Tj5nndey97
