This is the first of a three-game run that could determine the Arkansas tournament chances.
I wrote a few days ago a win against Alabama or Tennessee needs to happen for the Hogs to get in good gracious with the selection committee before Selection Sunday. ESPN is only giving the Hogs a 16.4% chance of winning which is understandable.
The Hogs haven’t shown much, if any, consistency all season, while Alabama has consistently been one of the best teams in the country from the start of the season.
The Hogs have a legitimate chance of winning, especially with the recent news swirling around Alabama’s leading scorer, Brandon Miller. And in their last game, Alabama almost lost to South Carolina in overtime. The No. 2 team in the country is vulnerable. Let’s see if the Hogs can take advantage.
