Hogs hold on, face Gators next

ST. LOUIS -- The Arkansas Razorbacks will get a shot to beat Florida tonight.

It's been awhile.

The Razorbacks will look to break an eight-game losing streak against the Gators that spans five years when the teams play tonight in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals.

The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (22-10) advanced to play the Gators by beating South Carolina 69-64 Thursday night at the Scottrade Center before an announced crowd of 11,752.

Arkansas last beat Florida on Feb. 5, 2013, when the Razorbacks upset the No. 2 Gators 80-69 in Walton Arena.

"It would be awesome to break that streak," said senior guard Jaylen Barford, who led the Razorbacks with 17 points against South Carolina.
