The Kansas-Arkansas game was seen by pundits as being one of the best matchups on the first day of the men’s NCAA Tournament.

And the first half didn’t disappoint.

The Razorbacks led 47-44 at the break after an electric first half that featured big shots, fast breaks and huge dunks.

But it was a block by KU’s AJ Storr that stole the show. Following a Jayhawks’ turnover, Arkansas seemed poised to score on a fast break as Boogie Fland drove to the hoop for a slam dunk.

Instead, Storr came up with a massive block. Take a look.

That block lit up social media as fans were blown away by the play. Here is a bit of what was being said on X.
