Washington's late dunk helps Arkansas beat No. 7 Texas 67-61

The Longhorns led 52-46 in the second half before Washington's desperation 3-pointer with the shot clock running down hit the rim, bounced high in the air and then dropped in. That shot started an 11-0 run for the Razorbacks, and they took the lead when Marcus Monk's nice pass inside set up Washington's dunk. Courtney Fortson's driving three-point play made it 57-52.

Texas fought back to tie it at 57, but Welsh's 3-pointer from in front of the Arkansas bench put the Razorbacks back ahead.
