Razorbacks Clinch Sweet 16 Bid with Victory Over 1 Seed Kansas

Arkansas Razorback Men's Basketball

The Arkansas Razorbacks advanced to the program’s 14th Sweet 16 with a win over Kansas on Saturday, despite being down 12 points in the second half. Devo Davis was instrumental in the comeback, scoring 25 points, and Ricky Council IV sealed the victory with his last five points from the line.

  • No. 1 seed? No problem: This is the third year in a row Arkansas has faced a top-seeded team, bringing their record to 2-1 in these matchups in that timeframe. In the 2022 Sweet 16, the Razorbacks upset Gonzaga and cut Kansas' dance short in the second round of the 2021 tourney.
  • 6th man: Jordan Walsh came off the bench and went for 10 points and three rebounds. Kamani Johnson also had 10 boards and a putback late.
