No. 9 Arkansas basketball score vs. No. 8 Creighton: Live updates from Maui Invitational

No. 9 Arkansas men's basketball is playing its biggest game yet.

The Razorbacks (4-0) face No. 8 Creighton (4-0) in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational at Lahaina Civic Center in Hawaii on Tuesday (7 p.m. CT, ESPN).

Arkansas soundly defeated Louisville on Monday 80-54 to advance in the tournament's winners' bracket. Creighton got past No. 20 Texas Tech in a hard-fought 76-65 win.

Freshman guard Anthony Black was the hero of the Razorbacks' win, scoring 26 points and shooting better than 80% from the field. Another star freshman, Nick Smith Jr., missed his fourth consecutive game because of a right knee injury. It's unclear whether the highly touted guard will play against Creighton.

The Razorbacks and Blue Jays are meeting for the third time in their histories and the first time since the 1962-1963 season.
