Just 24 hours after No. 2 Connecticut lost to No. 8 Georgetown, another top 5 undefeated team went down in flames.
Oklahoma was never even in this one as it lost to unranked Arkansas 98-88 tonight in Fayetteville, Ark.
The Sooners (10-1) trailed in the first half 53-38 and led by as many as 25, but Oklahoma made a nice run, but fell short.
Oklahoma freshman Willie Warren led all scorers with 35 points, while Blake Griffin had 21 points and 13 rebounds.
Michael Washington was one of six Razorbacks to score in double figures with 24 points and snatched 11 rebounds for his his sixth double-double this season.
And could someone tell me why Arkansas isn’t ranked?
According to a tidbit by the Associated Press, the Razorbacks (10-1) have won eight straight, including four of its last five versus ranked teams and six straight versus the Top 25 at home.
Instead, we keep seeing the same old teams like Davidson, Marquette, Kansas and Memphis come in and out of the top 25 like a revolving door.
Have the brains that vote on the top 25 realized that last season is over?
