00:00My goodness here, Arkansas let this game slip away.
00:03Cal almost had his team first year in the Elite Eight.
00:07What went wrong?
00:08And is it just, hey, they're college kids,
00:1018, 19, 20, 21 years old.
00:12They just couldn't hold on the biggest moments here.
00:1485-83 victory for Texas Tech, impressive.
00:17But the comeback, even more impressive, Joe.
00:20Well, I mean, you had mentioned it early.
00:22Texas Tech in the beginning,
00:24I mean, Darian Williams couldn't hit water
00:26if he fell out of a boat.
00:28I mean, he was one of 11 to start from the field.
00:31And, you know, the fact that he ended up with 20 points,
00:3415 of those in the second half in overtime,
00:37including the biggest threes of the game for them,
00:41the ones that tied it up in the bucket
00:42that put them ahead in overtime.
00:46They didn't have that in the first half.
00:48And it's a miracle that, unfortunately for Arkansas,
00:52the scoring dried up for long stretches in the second half.
00:57And that's what allowed, you know,
01:00Texas Tech to be able to get back into it.
01:02Once Texas Tech found its rhythm,
01:05there was panic in Arkansas.
01:07And you could see it last night, Donny.
01:09The minute that they started to come back
01:11and the minute the shots started to fall
01:13that weren't falling, all of a sudden,
01:15Arkansas started to pucker up a little bit,
01:18if you know what I mean.
01:19And that was pretty much the end all be all.
01:22Then all of a sudden, that giant lead by as many as,
01:24you know, what, 16, 17 at one point,
01:28gone in that second half.
01:30But that's, Texas Tech has been there
01:32and done that before this year.
01:34Arkansas, not so much.
01:36And it showed last night here.
01:38But what I see, nobody thought Arkansas was gonna be
01:41in this point with an opportunity to go to the Elite Eight.
01:44And even Calipari said so afterwards there,
01:46that it was, they could have, should have, would have,
01:49but ultimately when you look at it,
01:51probably a team that overperformed a little bit
01:54in Cal's first year at Arkansas.
