Two spurts

Arkansas got separation in the first half with two lengthy runs, the first one starting midway through the period.

The Razorbacks broke from a 14-14 tie with an 8-0 spurt, started by JD Notae’s short left-hand bank shot. Davonte Davis made a putback, then Notae powered in for a driving layup and Au’Diese Toney cashed in two free throws to make it 22-14.

The 49ers climbed back to within 22-18, but Arkansas had another run up its sleeve. Notae also started the spree with a second-chance basket. Jaylin Williams and Davonte Davis added jumpers, then Chris Lykes made a threepoint shot to cap the 9-0 run with Arkansas on top 31-18.
