FAYETTEVILLE — FAYETTEVILLE — The play of the night in Arkansas' 66-43 win over North Texas came with an apology attached.
Whether or not it was necessary is another story.
With under eight minutes to play and the shot clock winding down, Razorbacks guard Jimmy Whitt caught on the right wing and drove right, eventually tossing up a floater off the glass. Whitt's shot missed, but forward Adrio Bailey was there to clean up the mess.
Bailey's put-back dunk over Mean Green forward Deng Geu sent the Bud Walton Arena crowd into a frenzy. He was also hit with a technical foul for hanging on the rim, but it wound up being inconsequential in Arkansas' second victory under first-year coach Eric Musselman.
