A recent win over in-state foe Central Arkansas has the Arkansas Razorbacks sitting at 9-2 so far in their first season under new head coach John Calipari. There have been plenty of storylines on the young season, including Calipari’s transition to an SEC foe, his new-found roster-building strategy, and a bevy of injuries that have plagued the Hogs as they attempt to put together a contending team from scratch.
But the biggest obstacle still in the Razorbacks’ way is just how strong the SEC is this season. In a typical college season, 10 NCAA Tournament bids from the same conference is considered an achievement worth noting.
