Where Arkansas basketball ranks in latest March Madness bracketology after Texas win

[ad_1]

Arkansas basketball is coming off two of its most important victories of the season, beating No. 16 Missouri on Saturday before knocking off on-the-bubble rival Texas Wednesday night.

All five starters scored at least 12 points in the Razorbacks (17-11, 6-9 SEC) overtime triumph over the Longhorns without Adou Thiero. The star forward is out indefinitely with a hyperextended knee, but the Hogs were still able to secure a critical win in his absence.

The next two games are opportunities for Arkansas to solidify its March Madness resume. The Hogs hit the road to face South Carolina this weekend before a midweek trip to Vanderbilt, who is also drifting toward the right side of the bubble after back-to-back ranked wins over Ole Miss and Texas A&M.
