DALLAS (AP) — Trevon Brazile scored 18 of his 24 points after halftime and finished with 10 rebounds as No. 17 Arkansas overcame No. 16 Texas Tech 93-86 on Saturday in a rematch of a Sweet 16 game in last season’s NCAA Tournament.
The Arkansas Razorbacks put forth an offensive clinic in Dallas and got some revenge in their Sweet 16 rematch with Texas Tech.

Updating the Texas Tech basketball team's ranking in the national poll after the Red Raiders' loss to Arkansas.
The No. 17 University of Arkansas men's basketball team rounded a corner late in the second half and held on for a 93-86 win against No. 16 Texas Tech on Saturday afternoon at the American Airlines Center.
Brazile averaged 18.6 points and 8.6 rebounds in his previous three games against power-conference opponents. He was poor against Michigan State, and Arkansas lost. He was overmatched at times against Duke, and Arkansas lost despite his best efforts.
But according to the Hogs, Saturday’s meeting with the Red Raiders at the American Airlines Center is about making a statement, not payback. Arkansas enters ranked No. 17, Texas Tech comes in at No. 16, and both teams would prefer to pretend last year’s Sweet 16 ending is ancient history.
With 17:20 left in a 93-86 win Saturday for the No. 17 University of Arkansas basketball team, No. 16 Texas Tech sent a double team at freshman point guard Darius Acuff Jr. on a pick-and-roll.
