A video of a University of Arkansas cheerleader went viral during an NCAA Tournament game this weekend.
No. 2 seed Duke and No. 5 seed Arkansas battled it out with a trip to the Final Four on the line on Saturday night. The Blue Devils took a 45-33 lead into the half and never looked back, storming to a 78-69 victory.
Coach K’s 13th trip to the Final Four is certainly making headlines. But it’s an Arkansas cheerleader who stole the spotlight on Saturday night.
A member of the Arkansas cheerleading team helped retrieve a ball stuck atop the backboard and received a major applause for her efforts.
