Arkansas finally gave second-year coach Mike Anderson the signature win he had been looking for.
BJ Young led three players in double figures with 13 points as the Razorbacks ran out to a 43-26 halftime lead and never let up in a shocking 80-69 victory over No. 2 Florida on Tuesday night in Fayetteville, Ark.
The victory improves the Razorbacks (14-8, 5-4 SEC) to 14-1 at home, and it snaps a 10-game winning streak for the Gators (18-3, 8-1) – who ascended to the No. 2 spot in The Associated Press Top 25 one day earlier.
It was Arkansas’ first win over a Top 10 team since early in 2008-09.
