FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas basketball will begin its SEC schedule this afternoon, balancing hopes of a conference championship and the need for quality wins to secure a spot in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
No. 25 Auburn (11-2) will be the first SEC opponent for the Razorbacks (9-4), with the Tigers starting to find their groove and entering the AP Top 25 this week for the first time this season.
There were highs and lows during the Hogs’ non-conference slate. Arkansas upset Duke in late November and scored 106 points in its most recent game against UNCW, but the Razorbacks also had deflating defeats to Oklahoma, Memphis and UNC Greensboro.
Auburn enters on a six-game winning streak. The Tigers knocked off Indiana and USC while scoring at least 80 points in every game during this recent stretch. Their losses are to Baylor and Appalachian State.
