The regular season finale was less than ideal for the Hogs. A sweep at LSU dropped the Hogs to the seventh seed in the SEC Tournament and put a dent in their regional hosting hopes. It hasn’t hurt too badly though, with the Hogs only dropping to No. 18 in the coaches poll and No. 19 in RPI.
With the drop to the seventh seed, Arkansas will face Kentucky in the opening round of the tournament taking place in Columbia. Here is the whole bracket for the tournament.

Unlike the baseball tournament, this one is just single elimination so the Hogs can’t afford to slip up against Kentucky if they want to host.
