These are photos for the record book. Just not in a good way.
That’s expected-to-be-bottom Georgia beating expected-to-be-top Arkansas. No, the Razorbacks were not supposed to win the SEC, per se. But they were considered a top five. The same with UGA. The Bulldogs were not expected to finish dead-last, but bottom five.
Instead, they’ve flipped. Arkansas’ NCAA Tournament hopes are hanging by a string. Yes, even on January 11, 2024. The common threshold of 20 wins to make an NCAA Tournament at-large bid means Arkansas has to go 11-3 the rest of the way.
Arkansas didn’t even go 11-3 in nonconference.
Thus, the history. Wednesday’s game against Georgia may have been the nail in Arkansas’ NCAA Tournament coffin, stopping the Hogs at three straight Sweet 16s.
