PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) --- Darius Acuff Jr. had 36 points and six assists to help
No. 4-seeded Arkansas survive a scare from 12th-seeded High Point with a 94-88
victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night.
The Razorbacks (28-8) will face the winner of Sunday's matchup between
top-seeded Arizona and No. 9 seed Utah State on Thursday in the Sweet 16 in San
Jose, California.
Two of the highest-scoring teams in the nation combined on a back-and-forth
affair that featured 15 lead changes and six ties, before Arkansas had just
enough late to send coach John Calipari to his 17th Sweet 16.
Rob Martin had 30 points, five assists and four rebounds for High Point (31-5),
which pulled off a first-round upset of fifth-seeded Wisconsin. Cam'Ron
Fletcher, who was recruited by Calipari when he coached at Kentucky, had 25
points.
