Eight days ago, the Arkansas Razorbacks looked like a sure-thing NCAA Tournament team.
They had just beaten Alabama easily, were 17-5 overall and 6-3 in SEC play. They were tied for fourth place.
After shocking losses at Missouri and Tuesday night to Vanderbilt at home, the Razorbacks look like an NIT team, and one that -- judging by the attendance at Tuesday's game -- might have to go on the road.
Thousands missed the first half on the SEC Network because Alabama took South Carolina to four overtimes before beating the Gamecocks, which delayed the airing of the Arkansas game until the second half.
