After Mark’s driving layup with 19 seconds left in the second OT, Stanford’s Spencer Jones and Benny Gealer missed 3-point attempts.

Gealer banked in a hurried 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie at 66-all in the first overtime when the Razorbacks didn’t have a basket but made 7 of 8 free throws.

Stanford led 59-55 and Bynum was at the line with 13.8 seconds left in regulation. He missed the free throw and Davis raced down the floor and was fouled with 6.8 remaining. He made both free throws to tie it and Bynum’s open 3-pointer went off the back of the rim. Mark scored 10 straight points for the Razorbacks until Davis’ final two that forced overtime.

Arkansas shot only 30% but was 26 of 33 at the line to Stanford’s 13 of 24 and pulled down 21 offensive rebounds for a 21-7 advantage on points in the paint. Stanford shot 40%.
