[autotag]Arkansas basketball[/autotag] (9-7, 0-3 SEC) is in desperation mode as they welcome a tough Texas A&M (10-6, 1-2 SEC) team to Bud Walton Arena.
Neither team is exactly setting the world on fire to begin conference play, but the Aggies are fresh off an impressive upset over Kentucky this past weekend. It’s a far cry from where [autotag]Eric Musselman[/autotag]’s Hogs are at, limping into this one as losers of their first three SEC games in disappointing fashion.
Concerns are mounting for the Razorbacks, who have yet to develop an identity of any kind, and whose NCAA Tournament hopes are nothing more than a pipe dream as of now. Sure, Arkansas has started out slow in conference play before under Musselman. However, this time feels different.
This team has yet to look competent or competitive in two of these first three SEC contests, and their effort in the loss to Georgia wasn’t exactly inspiring. In years past, the Razorbacks have at least shown flashes of being capable of something special. This team has yet to do that.
If they’re going to prove everyone wrong and begin another impressive run into March, it needs to start tonight at home against Texas A&M.
Here’s how you can catch all of the action between the Hogs and Aggies from Fayetteville.
