Arkansas moves on to the Sweet 16 of the West Regional in Las Vegas.
Arkansas' Davonte Davis and Kansas' Zuby Ejiofor go after a loose ball during the second half of a second-round college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament Saturday, March 18, 2023, in Des Moines, Iowa. DES MOINES, Iowa — Arkansas coach Eric Musselman described reigning national champion Kansas as a “well-oiled machine” regardless of whether Jayhawks boss Bill Self is on the sideline.
Eighth-seeded Arkansas , trying to advance to its third consecutive Elite Eight, moves on to the Sweet 16 of the West Regional in Las Vegas. The top-seeded Jayhawks were trying to become the first repeat champion since Florida in 2007, but lost for the first time this season after leading at halftime.
“That’s such a win for our program, I keep telling people that we’re getting better,” a jubilant Musselman told CBS Sports immediately after the upset. “Not many teams can get better this time of year. … I’ve never been prouder of a team than tonight.” Arkansas lost more games than it won in regular season Southeastern Conference competition , but the Razorbacks are loaded with talent, including two potential top 10 selections of the NBA draft this summer in freshman guards Nick Smith Jr. and Anthony Black.
