The Razorbacks took control at that point. They went on an 8-0 run to seize a 20-10 advantage with 9:56 remaining.

Chandler Lawson made a layup to start the run. Mitchell and Mark followed with back-to-back dunks, and Mitchell sank a pair of free throws.

The Tigers stayed within range and trailed Arkansas 35-26 with 3:53 left in the half.

Arkansas went on another scoring binge, this time a 12-2 run to finish the half and seize a 19-point lead. Mitchell started the run with a dunk off a pass from Menifield.

The Tigers fell behind by as many as 23 points early in the second half. A layup by Mark gave Arkansas a 57-34 lead with 17:23 to play.

Missouri pulled back within 71-58 with 8:14 left, and Aidan Shaw dunked as the Tigers got within 79-66 with 3:39 remaining.
