— Arkansas' NCAA Tournament elimination game against Oral Roberts will begin at 4:55 p.m. after it was delayed nearly two hours because of rain.

The game was scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. on the SEC Network, but thunderstorms arrived in Fayetteville around 1:20 p.m. and lasted into the 4 p.m. hour. It is not known whether the game still will be televised.

The winner of today's game was scheduled to play Missouri State at 8 p.m., but that game time will be altered because of the late start for the first game. NCAA rules mandate a 55-minute intermission between games.

Forecasts call for more rain in Fayetteville later tonight.
