The [autotag]Arkansas Razorbacks[/autotag] are just about ready to get underway in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against the Illinois Fighting Illini.
Arkansas is going to be starting [autotag]Anthony Black[/autotag], [autotag]Ricky Council[/autotag], [autotag]Nick Smith Jr.[/autotag], [autotag]Devo Davis[/autotag] and [autotag]Kamani Johnson[/autotag]. Illinois will be starting Terrence Shannon Jr., RJ Melendez, Matthew Mayer, Coleman Hawkins and Dain Dainja.
The Razorbacks are 0-5 all-time against the Illini but haven’t played since 2004 when Illinois defeated the Hogs, 72-60. Arkansas has won in the first round of the NCAA Tournament each of the past two seasons under [autotag]Eric Musselman[/autotag].
It should be a very close, nerve-racking game that comes down to the wire, but the Razorbacks have the talent to walk out with a huge win on Thursday. Here’s what fans are saying on social media ahead of the first round contest between the Hogs and Illini.
