The No. 13 Gymbacks will have their first-ever conference competition with Oklahoma this week, and it comes as the Sooners are ranked the top team in the nation.

After a dreadful 20-minute stretch on Saturday, the Sooners woke up and found a way to beat Arkansas 65-62 on the road.

FAYETTEVILLE — When the No. 13 Arkansas gymnastics team visits No. 1 Oklahoma, two of the country’s top floor lineups will be on display on a national stage. The Razorbacks are ranked No. 3 nationally in the event with an average score of 49.388. The Sooners lead the country with an average of 49.431.

The Razorbacks (12-7, 1-5 SEC) were one of two winless teams in league play before they upset Georgia on Wednesday. The slow start came after Arkansas finished the non-conference portion of their schedule 11-2, losing only to Baylor and Illinois.

The University of Arkansas men's basketball team held a second-straight opponent to no three-point field goals in the second half, but the denial came with a twist as the Razorbacks fell 65-62 to Oklahoma at Walton Arena late Saturday.

Oklahoma made a comeback to defeat Arkansas 65-62 on Saturday night. The Sooners are now 15-4 on the season and 2-4 in the SEC. Jeremiah Fears contributed 16 points, while Jalon Moore sealed the victory with the last three points, ending the game with 13. Brycen Goodine also scored 9 points.

Oklahoma, like the Razorbacks, enters the matchup having won its last game. It defeated South Carolina 82-62 last Saturday and got a weeklong break from playing. It is a pivotal game for both Arkansas and Oklahoma.
