How Tweet it is: Hog fans rejoice on social media after big win over Duke
Coming off back-to-back losses and missing its leading scorer, Tramon Mark, the Arkansas basketball team stunned the doubters Wednesday night with an 80-75 win over No. 7 Duke in front of a record crowd at Bud Walton Arena.
Sophomore Trevon Brazile paced the Razorbacks (5-3) with a double-double, with 19 points and 11 rebounds. The Hogs reached a double-digit lead in the second half, but had to hold off the Blue Devils (5-2) in the final minutes.
The victory was No. 100 for Eric Musselman as the Razorbacks head coach.
Here are some of the posts tweeted out on X following the win:

Hmmm, who is that?
A certain fanbase had a lot to say about Arkansas basketball last week…every one of their accounts is quiet tonight.

Sour Dukies
Whiners. Arkansas loves basketball. We always have. If pack the Bud for normal games why wouldn't we for a top ten matchup? Duke or no Duke

Pandemonium at the Palace
Wins like this are exactly why you see very few Arkansas fans complaining about Arkansas basketball even going into a game like this with a 4-3 record, crown the Bus if only for a week everyone on this team deserves it, wooPig!

Arkansas dominant
Arkansas dominated without Tramon Mark but let Duke stay in it until the end. Kyle Filipowski had 23 in the second half but it wasn’t enough. Trevon Brazile had a massive double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Huge bounce back for the Razorbacks.

Great day to be a Hog

The good juju
The good juju also returns to Arkansas with the return of Bobby Petrino, since the Razorback basketball team just knocked off Duke.

Muss better than Izzo
Yea I’ll take Eric Musselman 100 times over Tom Izzo.
The dude reminds me of a young Izzo. Musseleman’s Arkansas team (toughness & technique) is everything I wish Michigan State basketball was these past few years.

Redemption day
Arkansas redeems the day for Memphis basketball with a massive win against Duke without Tramon Mark. Should be a premium victory come March for the Tigers.

Without Mark
Wow. Arkansas beats Duke WITHOUT their best player Tramon Mark who scored 34p (13-17 FG | 4-6 3pt) vs Carolina in the Bahamas! What a great night of college basketball.

I love basketball
Unranked Arkansas just beat Duke. I just love basketball man! #ACCvsSEC

I'm confused
Arkansas basketball is the most confusing college basketball team in the country.

Anarchy?
Five days after Arkansas finished 1-2 in the Battle 4 Atlantis, it beat Duke WITHOUT Tramon Mark.
Anarchy?
Nope. Just College Basketball. https://t.co/WYyBysfNiU
