Texas Tech rallies from 16 points down to beat Arkansas 85-83 in first OT game in March Madness

In the Sweet 16 of the 2025 NCAA tournament on Thursday, March 27, the 10th-seeded Arkansas Razorbacks lost in overtime to the third-seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders at Chase Center in San Francisco.
Arkansas, coached by John Calipari in his first season with the team, saw their season end after starting the Southeastern Conference schedule with five straight losses but recovering to reach the Sweet Sixteen.
The Razorbacks held a 16-point lead midway through the second half, but Texas Tech closed regulation with a 16-3 run, tying the game at 72 after Darrion Williams hit a contested 3-pointer with 9.7 seconds left.
Texas Tech's Darrion Williams, despite a slow start, ultimately scored 20 points, including a late 3-pointer to force overtime and the go-ahead layup with 7.3 seconds left in overtime, while Arkansas guard Johnell Davis led all scorers with 30 points.
Texas Tech's 85-83 victory sends them to the Elite Eight to face top-seeded Florida, giving them the opportunity to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2019, while Arkansas returns home after a season of overcoming adversity.
