Briefly

In a tense matchup, No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks triumphed over No. 2 St. John's Red Storm 75-66 in the Round of 32. The Razorbacks effectively matched St. John's aggressive style, limiting scoring opportunities for standout RJ Luis Jr. and others. Luis struggled throughout the game, finishing with only 3-of-17 from the field, with the absence of effective support from his teammates like Kadary Richmond, who fouled out. Zuby Ejiofor was a bright spot for St. John's, scoring 23 points, but it was not enough to secure victory over a determined Arkansas squad.
The Razorbacks' physicality presented significant challenges for St. John's, particularly affecting their shots and overall game strategy, as they couldn't handle the defensive pressure.
Despite Zuby Ejiofor's impressive performance, scoring 23 points, the Red Storm could not overcome the struggles of their leading scorers, who combined for a dismal shooting percentage.
