Calipari reached 900 wins fastest in NCAA Division I history after Arkansas' 88-84 overtime victory over Missouri, led by Meleek Thomas' 28 points and Trevon Brazile's clutch 3-pointer.
- On Saturday, No. 20 Arkansas defeated Missouri 88-84 in overtime at Mizzou Arena, marking Calipari's 900th win in Division I.
- Arkansas opened with a dominant first half, building a 15-point lead before Missouri rallied after halftime with a 27-9 run, despite Arkansas playing without Darius Acuff, with Meleek Thomas and D.J. Wagner managing the offense.
- Trevon Brazile's late 3 in overtime swung the game in Arkansas' favor, and key free throws by Malique Ewin and Meleek Thomas in the final 10 seconds sealed the win.
- Arkansas will have two days off before its SEC quarterfinal on Friday; it remains a possible 2-seed depending on other results, while Missouri's loss leaves its seed range between 5 and 10.
- Despite the loss, Mark Mitchell's final home appearance at Mizzou Arena featured a career-high 32 points and his 1,000-career points milestone, capped by scoring Missouri’s final five points to force overtime.
