FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas basketball team faces long odds with a short bench this week in Nashville, Tenn.
To win the SEC Tournament -- and earn the conference's automatic NCAA Tournament bid -- the Razorbacks need to win five games in five days.
That figures to be especially challenging because the Razorbacks typically have relied on seven players for most of the minutes in SEC games.
Senior guard Jimmy Whitt is averaging 38.0 minutes in SEC games, junior guard Mason Jones and sophomore guard Isaiah Joe 35.2 each, and sophomore guard Desi Sills 32.
