Arkansas tops Kansas 79-72, handing the Jayhawks their first NCAA Tournament first-round loss since 2006
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Jonas Aidoo scored 22 points to help 10th-seeded Arkansas to a 79-72 opening-round NCAA Tournament victory over No. 7 seed Kansas on Thursday night in the latest meeting between two of college basketball's winningest coaches. Johnell Davis added 18 points, including some crucial late free throws, to help John Calipari to his first tournament victory as Razorbacks coach. Freshman standout Boogie Fland played for the first time since having right thumb surgery in January and scored six points in 24 minutes. Arkansas will get either No. 2 seed St. John's or No. 15 Omaha in the second round of the West Region on Saturday. Zeke Mayo had 18 points for Kansas (21-13), which has made 35 straight NCAA Tournaments and hadn't lost in the first round since 2006. AJ Storr finished with 15 points and Hunter Dickinson added 11 points and nine rebounds. Thursday's matchup was the third March Madness meeting between two of the four active win leaders in men's college basketball. Calipari is second (876), with Bill Self of Kansas fourth (831) on the list. Both previous meetings were in the national championship game, with each winning once. Kansas erased an 11-point, second-half deficit and nudged ahead 65-64 on a follow shot by Storr with less than six minutes remaining. The Jayhawks kept the lead until Aidoo connected on a pair of free throws to put the Razorbacks back in front. Arkansas got a stop on the other end and then got a 3-pointer by Davis that gave it a 71-67 cushion with less than two minutes on the clock. Arkansas' edge was down to 71-69 before Davis dropped in a pair of free throws. Dickinson missed a 3 attempt on Kansas' next trip and Arkansas added two more free throws. The Jayhawks got it back down to 75-72 on a 3-pointer by Rylan Griffen with 13 seconds left. The Razorbacks called back-to-back timeouts trying to get the ball inbounds. They finally did and Davis calmly sank two free throws to help close it out. Takeaways

SEC tournament roundup: Arkansas hangs on to defeat South Carolina
March 13 - Trevon Brazile scored 16 points Wednesday and Jonas Aidoo added a double-double as No. 9 seed Arkansas built a 20-point lead, then barely held on to eliminate 16th-seeded South Carolina 72-68 in the first round of the Southeastern Conference tournament in Nashville. Aidoo finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds as the Razorbacks (20-12) advanced to a second-round matchup Thursday with No. 8 seed Ole Miss. Johnell Davis added 14 points, including two foul shots with 2.5 seconds left to seal the outcome, and D.J. Wagner chipped in 13 points plus six assists. Collin Murray-Boyles scored a game-high 20 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Gamecocks, who finished their season with a 12-20 record. Jamarii Thomas added 16 points and Jacobi Wright hit for 13 plus four assists. Texas 79, Vanderbilt 72 Tre Johnson and Tramon Mark scored 19 points each to help the 13th-seeded Longhorns hold off the 12th-seeded Commodores in a Southeastern Conference tournament first-round slugfest. The Longhorns won despite not making a field goal in the final 6:17. Texas (18-14) -- considered a bubble team to make the NCAA Tournament -- advanced to play rival Texas A&M, the No. 5 seed, in the second round on Thursday. Texas and Texas A&M split their two games this season. Jordan Pope added 14 points, Arthur Kaluma scored 11 and Jayson Kent took 10 rebounds for Texas. Vanderbilt's Jason Edwards led all scorers with 20 points while Tyler Nickel had 14. The Commodores now await their fate for the NCAA Tournament. Mississippi State 91, LSU 62 Josh Hubbard scored 26 points and the No. 10 seed Bulldogs routed the No. 15 seed Tigers in Nashville. Hubbard made more 3-pointers (six) than all of the Tigers combined (five), and Mississippi State finished with a 30-point advantage from beyond the arc. The Bulldogs (21-11) will oppose No. 21 Missouri, the No. 7 seed, in the second round. Jordan Sears scored 20 points, Robert Miller III had 14 and Cam Carter added 13 for LSU (14-18). Oklahoma 81, Georgia 75 Freshman Jeremiah Fears scored 29 points and led a late run that lifted the 14th-seeded Sooners to a win over the 11th-seed Bulldogs. The Sooners (20-12) strengthened their case to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021. Oklahoma will oppose sixth-seeded Kentucky in the second round on Thursday. Jalon Moore scored 14 points, hitting a career-high four 3-pointers, while Fears tied a season high with four 3-pointers. The Bulldogs (20-12), who figure to be in the NCAAs for the first time since 2015, now await their tournament fate. Silas Demary Jr. led the Bulldogs with 24 points while freshman Asa Newell added 21 and a season-high 17 rebounds. --Field Level Media

Arkansas beats No. 25 Mississippi State by one in frantic finish
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Jonas Aidoo made one of two free throws with 11 seconds left to break a tie game and No. 25 Mississippi State missed two potential game-winning shots at the rim at the other end to close out Arkansas' 93-92 victory on Saturday. Mississippi State (20-11, 8-10 Southeastern Conference) used a 12-0 run to go up by one point with 3:14 to play, its first lead since before halftime. Arkansas (19-12, 8-10), which led by one at the break, opened the second half on a 10-run. DJ Wagner, who scored a game-high 24 points, gave the Razorbacks a three-point lead on a 3-pointer with 44 seconds left. But Jonathan Hubbard countered, hitting a 3-pointer for the Bulldogs just 10 seconds later to set up the frantic finish. Aidoo, a preseason second-team All-SEC selection, largely struggled in his first season with the Razorbacks after transferring from Tennessee. But he scored a season-high 21 points and had 10 rebounds in the regular-season finale. Claudell Harris Jr. led Mississippi State with 18 points and Hubbard finished with 17. Takeaways The Razorbacks entered the game likely on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble and should be breathing fine on Selection Sunday. Mississippi State should make the tournament, as well, but the Bulldogs have seen their seeding drop as they lost four of their last five games. Key moment Riley Kugel, who made the 3 that gave Mississippi State its first second-half lead, was blocked at the rim by Billy Richmond in the waning seconds. RJ Melendez grabbed the offensive rebound, but missed the putback as time expired. Key stats The Razorbacks shot well. They made 55% of their field goals, 43% of their 3-pointers and 81% of their free throws. The Bulldogs committed just two turnovers and scored 19 points off 10 Arkansas giveaways. Up next Arkansas will be either the No. 9 or No. 10 seed in next week's SEC Tournament. Mississippi State will be either the No. 10 seed or the No. 11 seed in the SEC Tournament.
