FAYETTEVILLE — With less than two minutes left in the first half of Saturday's exhibition game against No. 15 Gonzaga, the Razorbacks were in trouble.
A 10-1 run from Gonzaga put the Bulldogs up 36-26, and a young Arkansas team that had played a very sloppy half to that point needed a spark in a big way.
Not only did the Hogs get a spark, they got a game-changing 9-0 run to close the first half and another 9-0 spurt to start the second that completely flipped the contest on its head.
Abdou Toure nailed a three to cut Gonzaga's lead to seven and start the combined 18-0 run, while JJ Andrews cut Arkansas' deficit to one with 28 seconds to go in the half and Davion Thompson made a layup 15 seconds into the second half to give the Razorbacks a 37-36 lead.
After Arkansas got out to a 44-36 advantage, Gonzaga finally broke their six-plus minute scoring drought with a triple from Nathan De Sousa.
