FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson hopes his current Razorbacks follow the path taken by each of his past two teams entering the third week of conference play.
The past two Arkansas teams opened 1-3 in SEC action before rebounding to make runs to the NCAA Tournament with league records of 12-6 and 10-8, respectively.
The current bunch dropped to 10-6 overall and 1-3 in the SEC after Tuesday's 106-87 loss at No. 3 Tennessee. The 19-point differential against the Volunteers equalled the combined margin from Arkansas' first five losses.
The 2017 and 2018 Arkansas teams played Missouri at Walton Arena in their fifth SEC game.
