Somebody had to lose Wednesday night.
In one of the best games of the college basketball season, it was Arkansas. The 20th-ranked Razorbacks got 49 points out of star freshman Darius Acuff Jr., but it wasn’t enough as No. 25 survived a double-overtime thriller for a 117-115 win.
After hitting a late 3 to force overtime and two free throws in the extra session to help force the second, Acuff and the Razorbacks had a look to extend the game again to a third over time. But Acuff’s floater missed high off the glass, and Malique Ewin clanged a putback dunk off the back of the rim.
Alabama secured the rebound as time expired and held on for the two-point win.
