Home Stretch

The next three games may very well decide the fate of this year's basketball team. The Hogs are 3-2, and entering a three game home stand where they will face West leading Mississippi State, East leading Florida, and West rival Ole Miss. A three game sweep would put Arkansas at 6-2 and quite possibly in a tie for first in the West. A loss in the three games will make the second half of the season even more difficult than it already is with 5 of the 8 games on the road. Two losses and a third straight tournament appearance is in serious jeopardy.
