No more Florida jinx

ST. LOUIS -- The Arkansas Razorbacks decided they'd had enough of losing to Florida and did something about it.

The Razorbacks beat the No. 23 Gators 80-72 Friday night in Scottrade Center in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals to end an eight-game losing streak to Florida.

The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (23-10) advances to play Tennessee (24-7) in a semifinal game at 2:30 p.m. today.

Arkansas' last victory over the Gators had been five years ago, 80-69 on Feb. 5, 2013, in Coach Mike Anderson's second season with the Razorbacks.

"It was fun out there," said senior guard Jaylen Barford, who led Arkansas with 27 points and 10 rebounds.
