Arkansas’ stay at the Maui Invitational will conclude Wednesday with another matchup between ranked teams.
The ninth-ranked Razorbacks will play 17th-ranked San Diego State in the tournament’s third-place game beginning at 9 p.m. Central.
Both teams suffered their first loss of the season Tuesday in the semifinals at the Maui Invitational — Arkansas 90-87 to 10th-ranked Creighton, and San Diego State 87-70 to 14th-ranked Arizona.
The Aztecs (4-1) briefly took their only lead early in the second half before Arizona pulled away.
“I think after this game, I think we have a lot to prove,” guard Darrion Trammell said.
