He will need another stellar performance against Alabama if the Hogs are going to win. Kentucky, which put Arkansas in a tie for second place in the SEC Western Division with Alabama, who they lock horns with tonight at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa. In their first meeting this year, the Hogs closed the door on the Tide in the final 13 minutes of the game. The Razorbacks are in the midst of a three-game winning streak and have won eight of their last 11 games, which bodes well for the Hogs since the NCAA selection committee tends to look at your last 10 games. A win at Alabama and a second place finish in the SEC West would all but sew up a tournament bid, but that will not be easy considering that the Tide has yet to lose this season at Coleman Coliseum and the Hogs have only won twice on the road.
Most teams are very good at home.
In six of the Arkansas' nine losses this year the Razorbacks had large leads in either the first or second half, but poor shooting led to their demise down the stretch. You can bet the Tide will be up for the rematch with the Razorbacks after the lopsided loss they suffered at Bud Walton. I'm sure Alabama will remember that game. It's extremely important we go into the game ready to play a team that's ready to get after you, and a team that hasn't lost on its home floor. For more information, call 575.4646.
