FAYETTEVILLE — Despite being blowout by an emotionally charged Oklahoma State team on the road Saturday, Arkansas is still firmly in the NCAA Dance according to the experts.
In fact, the Razorbacks (16-5, 5-3) are in 84 of 86 projections compiled by the Bracket Matrix, with an average of being a No. 9 seed, as high as an No. 8 seed and low as No. 12.
The two most highly regarded of those projections are ESPN’s Joe Lunardi and CBS’ Jerry Palm, both of whom have Arkansas as one of four SEC teams in the field of 68.
