For the second straight game, Player of the Year candidate Moses Moody tied his season-high with 28 points. However, it was his blocked shot on a Texas A&M dunk attempt with the game tied and 1:49 left to play that led #12/13 ranked Arkansas Associate Head Basketball Coach David Patrick and his team to an 87-80 victory over Texas A&M Saturday afternoon at Bud Walton Arena.
The win closes the regular season for both programs and Arkansas improves to 21-5 overall, 13-4 in the SEC. The win was the 11th in a row in SEC play for Arkansas, the best streak in the SEC this season, and ties the 1993-94 national championship team for most consecutive league wins. (The ’943-94 team also won its final 11 SEC games that season.) Texas A&M falls to 8-9 overall, 2-8 in the SEC.
