The Arkansas basketball team has some rare momentum in conference play as No. 8 Tennessee enters Bud Walton Arena tonight. The Hogs are fresh off of a 78-75 win over Georgia on Saturday, and looking for consecutive SEC victories for the first time this season.
With the majority of the Razorbacks fan base having already throw in the towel on basketball, most of the social media chatter has been directed toward Arkansas’ No. 3 baseball team, who opens its season on Friday.
