FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Razorbacks, who beat No. 14 Minnesota 95-79 on Saturday night in Walton Arena, didn't look much like the basketball team that a week earlier absorbed a 91-65 pounding at Houston.
"Throw that Houston game out," Minnesota Coach Richard Pitino said. "That was bizarre."
The Houston loss hasn't hurt the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville much in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index, a formula used to rank teams based on their performance and strength of schedule.
Arkansas (7-2) is No. 9 nationally in the NCAA's RPI released Monday.
Houston (8-1) won its seventh consecutive game with a 77-58 victory at Saint Louis on Saturday night to help boost the Razorbacks' resume nationally.
