Why Arkansas Won: Home court continues to be a huge advantage for Arkansas, which improved to 17-0 at Bud Walton Arena. Not that anybody is comparing the squads, but this year's Razorback squad bested the school record for home victories set by the 1993-94 national title team. Beyond simply playing at home Arkansas was able to turn 21 South Carolina turnovers into 25 points. Finally the team got big performances from its big men, who helped the Razorbacks to a 32-30 rebounding advantage. Frontcourt play also helped build a lead that grew as large as 23 points. South Carolina mounted a 16-0 run late to cut Arkansas' lead to 68-61. That was as close as the Gamecocks would get as the Razorbacks ended a two-game losing skid. read more >
