The No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks made it to the Sweet 16, earning a matchup against the top-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs, who were favorites to win the national championship. On Thursday night, Arkansas advanced to the Elite Eight, defeating Gonzaga 74-68.

With the Razorbacks just one win away from reaching the Final Four, some may be wondering if the program has ever won a national title.

Has Arkansas ever won a national championship?

Arkansas does have a national title to their credit, which was won back in 1994.

After losing in the SEC Tournament semifinals, the team went undefeated throughout the NCAA Tournament. They defeated the North Carolina A&T, Georgetown, Tulsa, Michigan and Arizona to reach the National Finals. The Razorbacks defeated the Duke Blue Devils 76-72 to win their first and only national championship.

Arkansas has not made it back to the National Finals since 1995, where they lost to UCLA 89-78.

The Razorbacks are now in the Elite Eight for the second-consecutive year. One more win, and they are back in the Final Four for the first time in nearly 30 years.
