It may have struck midnight for this Cinderella, but Oral Roberts coach Paul Mills will never forget the ride.
Max Abmas’ last-second three-pointer hit the front of the rim and bounced off at the buzzer as 3-seed Arkansas rallied to take a 72-70 win over the Golden Eagles on Saturday and clinch the program’s first trip to the the Elite Eight since 1995.
Davonte “Devo” Davis’ shot near the lane with 3.1 seconds left proved to be the winning score for the Razorbacks (25-6) and left Mills thinking about a technical foul he was issued early in the game.
