FAYETTEVILLE - Two years ago the Arkansas and Alabama basketball teams were in complete opposite positions. It was almost this exact time that season, too.
The Razorbacks had an NCAA Tournament berth in their back pocket. They’d won eight of their last nine games and seven in a row. The win total was 21. There was one game left in the season and it was against Alabama, a team they beat by seven points to start the stretch of impressive wins.
Arkansas traveled to Tuscaloosa for the last game of the season and promptly lost by 25 points, 83-58.
