FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas probably expected to be playing Auburn on Saturday.

Texas A&M had other ideas.

Now the Razorbacks will face the Aggies at noon after A&M’s surprisingly big win over the Tigers on Saturday.

The two teams are familiar with each other. This is the third time they’ve played this season after each team won at home.

“I have tremendous respect for Buzz Williams as a coach,” Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said after downing LSU on Friday. “He has a group of guys that, much like us, got hot at the end of the year.

“They’ve done a phenomenal job of playing really, really good basketball lately.”

The Hogs got a double-bye to the quarterfinal. Texas A&M got one game off, then face Florida and won in overtime, 83-80. On Friday they dominated Auburn, 67-62 in a game that really wasn’t that close.

Arkansas used a big burst in the second half to roll through the Tigers for the third time this year with a 79-67 win.

The game will start at noon on ESPN with Karl Ravech and Jimmy Dykes calling the game while Marty Smith roams around looking for somebody to interview.

Hogs ‘just better’ than LSU after getting third win this year in SEC Tournament

TAMPA, Fla. — LSU coach Will Wade stated the obvious after losing to Arkansas for the third time this year:

“Arkansas is just better than us,” he said after the Razorbacks’ 79-67 win Friday in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament.

The Hogs had a late six-point run to the end first half before opening the second half on a 13-point run to set the stage for a big second half.

Defense dominated the first half of the third meeting between the two teams with teams shooting under 30% for the half.

Au’Diese Toney (Arkansas Communications)

LSU’s Mwani Wilkinson made a jumper with just over a minute remaining in the half to give the Tigers a three-point lead.

Chris Lykes, however, took over the final minute of the half, sinking four free throws and nailing a two-pointer at the buzzer to end the half and shift all momentum to the Razorbacks.

Arkansas used that momentum out of the half to go on a 13-point run over the first four minutes to extend the lead out to 16 before an LSU free throw finally snapped the streak.

The Razorbacks’ smothering defense continued in the second half while the offense found rhythm, shooting 60.7% led by JD Notae’s 14 second half points.

Chris Lykes (Arkansas Communications)

Au’Diese Toney paced Arkansas with 22 points and 10 rebounds in his return from an injury. Toney was one of three Hogs to reach double digits with Notae adding 19 and Lykes 18 off the bench. Jaylin Williams led all players with 11 rebounds while scoring six points.

SEC Sixth Man of the Year Tamari Eason led the Tigers with 15 points but was held to just one rebound.

The victory advances the Razorbacks into tomorrow’s semifinal match-up with Texas A&M, who upset top-seeded Auburn earlier in the day. The Razorbacks and Aggies will tip off tomorrow at noon on ESPN.
