SAN FRANCISCO — After a historic win in the Sweet 16, fourth-seeded Arkansas will face No. 2 seed Duke with a shot at the Final Four on the line.

The Blue Devils are led by Mike Zrzyzewski, the winningest coach in NCAA Tournament history.

• Arkansas is making its 11th NCAA Elite appearance and second straight. This is the first time Arkansas has made consecutive Elite 8 berths since winning the national title in 1994 and finishing runner-up in 1995. Last year, Arkansas advanced to the NCAA Elite 8 before falling to eventual national champion Baylor.

• Arkansas is 6-4 in NCAA Tournament Elite 8 games.

• This will be the fourth time Arkansas and Duke have met. Arkansas owns a 2-1 advantage and are 1-1 versus the Blue Devils in the NCAA Tournament.

• Duke defeated the Razorbacks, 97-83, in the 1990 Final Four in Denver. Arkansas defeated Duke, 76-72, in the 1990 NCAA title game thanks to “The Shot” by Scottie Thurman — a 3-pointer with 50 seconds left and the shot clock hitting zero as the ball was in the air for a 73-70 lead.
