Arizona came out firing in the West Region Fourth Round matchup, building a commanding 25-point lead that proved insurmountable against Arkansas. The Wildcats seized control early with back-to-back 8-2 scoring runs in the first period, establishing dominance before halftime. Despite some offensive stalling in the second half—including a lengthy 26-play scoring drought—Arizona's cushion was too comfortable to surrender, cruising to a 109-88 victory on the neutral court. The Razorbacks never found their rhythm offensively and couldn't spark a meaningful comeback. Arkansas stayed competitive early, but once Arizona's lead ballooned past 20 points, the game became a formality. A late Isaiah Sealy dunk kept Arkansas' pride intact in the final seconds, but the No. 1 seed's defensive pressure and offensive firepower proved too much to overcome in the tournament's Fourth Round.
