SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KATV) — In a game where it looked like Arkansas would coast to a victory, Texas Tech ratcheted up the competition in the closing minutes to tie the game at 72.

The Razorbacks held a lead as high as 16 at one point in the second half. The Red Raiders ended regulation on a 16-3 run after a failed attempt by Arkansas Guard DJ Wagner.
