Welcome to the offseason. Here are some of the storylines to watch for the Arkansas men's basketball team as John Calipari and his staff get their first full offseason in Fayetteville: www.wholehogsports.com/news/2025/ma...

Arkansas' offense went dry and Texas Tech dominated the offensive glass. Those were the big factors in the Razorbacks' season-ending 85-83 overtime defeat to the Red Raiders. Story on the end: www.wholehogsports.com/news/2025/ma...

Final: Texas Tech 85, Arkansas 83 The Razorbacks' season ends in the Sweet 16 after an overtime heartbreaker. After leading by 16 points at the U12 timeout, the Razorbacks were out scored 42-24. Darrion Williams with the winning bucket for the Red Raiders. Story to come.

Timeout Arkansas with 1:34 remaining. Texas Tech leads 81-78. Razorbacks with the ball after the break.

Following a review, Texas Tech has its first lead since it was 5-3. Arkansas trails 74-72. Goaltending call on the floor is confirmed.

Overtime started btw.

End of regulation: Arkansas 72, Texas Tech 72 We are heading to overtime in San Francisco. Hope you all have coffee.

Timeout Texas Tech. This game is tied, 72-72, with 9.7 seconds remaining. 6-0 Red Raiders run over the past 58 seconds and 16-3 over the past 4:12. Razorbacks have missed six of their past seven shots.

Clock reset to 24.6.

Play under review because the clock never started. Arkansas leads 72-69 with 27 seconds on the clock.

Timeout Arkansas with 1:55 to play. Razorbacks lead 69-66. Texas Tech is on a 10-0 run over the past 2:26. Poor shot selection of late for Arkansas.

U4 timeout: Arkansas 69, Texas Tech 61 Johnell Davis has 30. Close game down the stretch, should be a fun finish.

Timeout Texas Tech with 5:22 remaining. Arkansas leads 65-56 with Johnell Davis at the line after the break. Davis has a game-high 26 points.

Timeout Arkansas after Texas Tech scored on what felt its fifth chance on that possession. Razorbacks lead 61-50 with 8:12 remaining but have not scored in 2:11.

U12 timeout: Arkansas 59, Texas Tech 43 The Razorbacks have hit five of their past six shots and have their largest lead of the night. Johnell Davis has a game-high 24 points, just hitting a 3-pointer after a nice screen from Jonas Aidoo.

U16 timeout: Arkansas 44, Texas Tech 37 Razorbacks have missed each of their past four shots and have not scored in 2:47.

Second half started btw.

Adou Thiero is not taking shots as the teams warmup for the second half. Still wearing a brace on his left knee.

Halftime: Arkansas 38, Texas Tech 31 Darrion Williams hits a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cut the Razorbacks' lead to seven points. Red Raiders ended the half on a 6-0 run over the final 1:10.

U4 timeout: Arkansas 31, Texas Tech 23

Timeout Texas Tech with 5:26 remaining in the first half. Arkansas leads 28-21. DJ Wagner and Kevin Overton are trading baskets. Fun to watch.

U8 timeout: Arkansas 22, Texas Tech 14 The Red Raiders have started to hit a few shots, making three field goals since the last media timeout to cut into the Razorbacks' lead. Darrion Williams already has eight rebounds.

U12 timeout: Arkansas 18, Texas Tech 9 Red Raiders have missed six of their past seven shots. Razorbacks are holding Texas Tech to a 16% shooting performance so far. TTU entered with the nation's fifth-best offense, per KenPom.

Karter Knox is nuclear early. Heat check deeeeeeeep 3-pointer extends Arkansas' lead over Texas Tech to 18-7 with 13:07 remaining in the first half. 15-2 run over the past 4:05 for the Razorbacks. Knox is 3-3 from the field, all from deep, and is 2-2 at the line.

Uncharacteristic mistakes from Texas Tech so far. Arkansas taking advantage of those. Razorbacks lead 12-5 and are on a 9-0 run over the past 2:06. 15:06 remaining in the first half.

U16 timeout: Arkansas 8, Texas Tech 5 Fun start to this one. Back and forth. Johnell Davis will have two shots after the break.
