The Hogs are back on the court for one more opportunity to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, taking on Auburn in the first round of the SEC Tournament.
Auburn knocked off Arkansas back in January with a 72-59 victory, sparking a four-game skid that changed Arkansas season. Auburn is also coming into the tournament hot, beating Tennessee in the season finale.
For the past month, we’ve been saying, “this is a must-win game for the hogs,” and this situation is no different. Auburn victory over Tennessee gives them an edge over Arkansas, demoralized by Tennessee just a few days before.
Knocking off the Tigers gives Arkansas 20 wins which many think is the sweet spot for them to make it as a bubble team. Can they keep the season going?
