The Arkansas Razorbacks have one more chance to claim a quality before the end of the season.
Thompson-Boling Arena will play host to the SEC showdown, which is turning out to be important for both teams. No. 11 Tennessee (21-8, 10-6) has lost four of their last six games. During that span, they claimed a victory over Alabama, keeping critics calm.
For the Hogs, this is a must-win to add to their portfolio before Selection Sunday. The Hogs gave up a big lead against Alabama in their road two-point loss to arguably the best team in the country.
While the loss does hurt their tournament chances, the Razorbacks showed they can run with the presumed “elites” of college basketball when they have a healthy roster.
