Hogs' SEC seed does not sprout

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The University of Arkansas basketball team now likely needs to win the SEC Tournament to reach the NCAA Tournament, and the Razorbacks will have to do it the hard way.

Arkansas must win five games in five days in Nashville, Tenn., to win the SEC Tournament to earn the conference's automatic NCAA Tournament bid.

That seems to be Arkansas' only path for a bid after Texas A&M beat the Razorbacks 77-69 on Saturday in Reed Arena.

The Razorbacks (19-12, 7-10 SEC) fell to the No. 11 seed in the SEC Tournament and will play No.
