No. 15 Arkansas rallies for hard-fought win over Oklahoma
Jan 20, 2026; Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA; Arkansas Razorbacks head coach John Calipari during the first half against the Vanderbilt Commodores at Bud Walton Arena. Arkansas won 93-68. Mandatory Credit: Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images Darius Acuff Jr. totaled 21 points, nine assists and no turnovers while lifting No. 15 Arkansas to a come-from-behind 83-79 win over Oklahoma on Tuesday in Norman, Okla.
The Razorbacks (16-5, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) have won four of their past five games while the Sooners (11-10, 1-7) have dropped seven in a row.
With 1:27 left, Nijel Pack hit a long 3-pointer from straight away to put the Sooners up 79-77.
Then Arkansas’ freshman star, Acuff, came alive.
First, Acuff drew a foul at the rim from Tae Davis, and he hit 1 of 2 free throws to pull the Razorbacks within one.
Acuff grabbed the rebound off Xzayvier Brown’s missed 3-point attempt moments later, then drove all the way to the rim, finishing through a foul by Mohamed Wague. He completed the three-point play at the line to put Arkansas up 81-79 with 20 seconds to go.
The Razorbacks put the game away at the free-throw line, where they finished 11 of 13 after going just 7 of 18 there in a Saturday win over LSU.
Arkansas freshman Maleek Thomas added 16 points.
Pack scored 22 points to lead Oklahoma. Davis contributed 14, and Wague compiled nine points and 12 rebounds.
The game was back and forth for the first 10 minutes before Oklahoma broke out with a 14-2 run.
The stretch ended with a second consecutive turnover by the Razorbacks, followed by Brown’s tip-in of a missed dunk to put the Sooners up 38-25.
Pack scored eight of his 16 first-half points during the stretch. He shot 6 of 8 from the field before the break, hitting 4 of 6 3-point attempts.
Arkansas steadily closed the gap throughout the rest of the half, hitting 8 of 11 shots to get back in the game.
The Razorbacks ripped off eight consecutive points, cutting the deficit to two on back-to-back buckets from Nick Pringle before Brown’s jumper just ahead of the break sent the Sooners into halftime with a 48-44 lead.
Arkansas shot 61.3% from the field in the first half but was just 1 of 7 from beyond the arc.
Oklahoma’s offensive struggles late in the half continued into the second, as the Sooners went nearly six minutes into the second period before hitting a field goal as the Razorbacks went back in front with an 11-4 run coming out of halftime.

Apr 4, 2026; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Logan Henderson (43) pitches during the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Mandatory Credit: William Purnell-Imagn Images The Milwaukee Brewers recalled right-handed pitcher Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville and announced him as the starter for their Sunday afternoon road game against the Washington Nationals.
Henderson, 24, will be inserted into the lineup immediately, starting on the mound for the Brewers. Milwaukee has won five of its past six games.
Ranked as the No. 6 prospect and the top pitcher in the Brewers’ system by MLB Pipeline, Henderson will be making his second big league start of the season on Sunday.
He is 1-0 with a 9.00 ERA in one appearance. He gave up two runs on three hits in two innings as an opener in an 8-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on April 4.
Last season, Henderson started five games for the Brewers and was 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA.
In five games (three starts) for Nashville this season, Henderson is 2-0 with a 1.02 ERA. He has struck out 26 batters in 17 2/3 innings.
In a corresponding move, the Brewers sent right-hander Easton McGee, 28, to Nashville. He pitched two innings of relief this season in two games and allowed just one base hit.
Washington left-hander Peter Poulin (2-0, 4.11 ERA) will oppose McGee in the series finale.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram in walking boot ahead of Game 7
Apr 26, 2026; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (3) shoots the ball as Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (31) defends during game four of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Scotiabank Arena. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram was seen in a walking boot during the team’s shootaround on Sunday morning, several hours before Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the host Cleveland Cavaliers.
Ingram is listed as questionable to play in the game due to right heel inflammation.
An All-Star this season for the second time in his career, Ingram was limited to 11 minutes and scored one point in Toronto’s 125-120 setback to Cleveland in Game 5 on Wednesday. He did not play in Toronto’s 112-110 overtime victory in Game 6 on Friday.
During the regular season, the 28-year-old Ingram averaged a team-high 21.5 points over 77 games. He also averaged 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists and drilled 38.2% of his 3-point attempts.

76ers' Joel Embiid to home fans: 'Don't sell your tickets'
May 2, 2024; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (3) scores a three pointer against the Philadelphia 76ers with 25 seconds to go in game six of the first round for the 2024 NBA playoffs at Wells Fargo Center. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images It’s just a little more than 100 miles from Madison Square Garden in New York to Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philadelphia — a relatively short car ride or train trip for Knicks fans who wanted to see their team in action against the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
But 76ers star Joel Embiid, who was the NBA’s Most Valuable Player and a first-team All-Pro selection in the 2022-23 season, wants no part of Knicks fans invading his team’s home arena.
In his postgame interview Saturday night after the Sixers stunned the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of their series to advance, he put 76ers fans on notice.
Don’t sell your playoff tickets — especially not to Knicks fans.
New Yorkers overtook the Philadelphia arena two years ago when the No. 2-seeded Knicks eliminated the No. 7 Sixers in the opening round of the postseason. It has been presumed that Knicks fans bought their tickets from 76ers fans.
“I just have a message for our fans,” Embiid said Saturday night. “Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like [Philadelphia] was Madison Square Garden East. We’re going to need the support.
“Don’t sell your tickets. This is bigger than you. We need you guys.”
Embiid offered a solution, if need be.
“Knicks fans travel — they buy tickets,” he said. “There’s going to be people who will sell the tickets because they need the money. Don’t do it, we need you guys. We need the support, and we need them to be extremely loud. If you need money, I’ve got you.”
The Eastern Conference semifinal between the teams begins Monday in New York, with Game 2 set for Wednesday. The series will move to Philadelphia on Friday for Game 3, followed by Game 4 on Saturday.
The Knicks defeated the Atlanta Hawks in six games to advance.
