Jeffrey Carrol led the way with 20 points as OSU (13-8) has now won three consecutive games following a six-game skid.
Led by the hot hand of Phil Forte III, the Cowboys jumped out to a 14-2 lead on the Razorbacks, but Arkansas quickly cut its deficit to single digits after a Manuale Watkins’ 3-pointer. The bucket put Arkansas (16-5) back in the game, but only for a moment.
Jawun Evans knocked down a pair of free throws, Lucas N’Guessan then followed up with a dunk as the Cowboys used the next six minutes of game action to reel off a 21-to-7 run capped off by a monster and-1 dunk from Davon Dillard to go up 46-24.
The Cowboys led by 26 at intermission and never let Arkansas get back within striking distance the rest of the way.
Not only was it a big win for the Cowboys, but it came on a day where the University remembered the 10 members of the OSU basketball team and staff who were killed in a plane crash 16 years ago.
Forte III finished with 18 points while Evans added 16 points and eight assists. The Cowboys shot 50 percent (33-63) from the field and 45 percent (9-20) from behind the arc.
