Moses Kingsley led Arkansas with 23 points and four blocks while Barford added 20 for the Razorbacks. Dusty Hannahs finished with 14 points while Dustin Thomas set his personal best with 13 points as a member of the Razorbacks.

Arkansas was dominated on the glass as Seton Hall had a 46-32 rebounding advantage but the Pirates shot just 35 percent from the field. Arkansas was 46 percent from the field but went just 3-of-7 from 3-point range.
