The math is simple for the Arkansas basketball team.
If the Hogs beat Tennessee on Tuesday night from Knoxville, Arkansas will make the NCAA Tournament.
OK, perhaps that is us projecting. But it makes sense. Arkansas’ NET ranking shows the team is well-respected even if their SEC record hovers around .500. Tennessee is even higher, so a Hogs win on the road – something they haven’t done much this year – would be a boon for those Tourney chances.
A loss doesn’t mean the Razorbacks are out. Far from it, though Arkansas would certainly be more squarely on the bubble, even with that aforementioned NET so high.
So let’s take a look at what social media is saying ahead of the tip. Note: not much, which is weird, considering the seasons both teams have had.
