It didn’t take long for Arkansas to know its NCAA Tournament opponent.
The Razorbacks were the seventh team announced as the No. 4 seed in the West Region. Their opponent is Vermont, the winners of the America East Conference. Tip is Thursday and the winner will advance to play the winner of 5-seed Connecticut and 12-seed New Mexico State.
Vermont is no stranger to the NCAA Tournament. The Catamounts were a 13-seed in their last appearance in 2019. Then, they took Florida State to the wire, falling by seven points in the first round.
Arkansas is making its second straight appearance. The Hogs were a 3-seed last year and made the Elite Eight.
The two teams have never met, so let’s take a deeper look at Vermont.
