Breaking: Another No. 1 goes down as defending national champion KUHoops loses to RazorbackMBB in the NCAATournament second round
Kansas’ national title defense ended in the second round of NCAA tournament Saturday when Arkansas’ Ricky Council IV made five free throws in the closing seconds and the eighth-seeded Razorbacks beat the No. 1-seeded Jayhawks 72-71.
Musselman and his players rushed to a group of fans sitting courtside after the final buzzer. The 58-year-old coach ripped his polo shirt off, waved it over his head and shouted with joy. Davis scored 21 of his points in the second half. He fouled out with 1:56 left, turning things over to the veteran Council, a transfer from Wichita State who scored nine of the Razorbacks’ final 11 points.
The teams traded free throws, and Arkansas sent Kansas’ Jalen Wilson to the line with three seconds left to prevent a potential tying three-pointer. Wilson made the first free throw and appeared to try to miss the second intentionally, but it banked hard off the glass and in and Kansas never regained possession.Arkansas was playing a No. 1 seed for the third consecutive year. Last year, the Razorbacks knocked out Gonzaga on the way to their second straight Elite Eight.
