Eric Musselman has his own problems to worry about right now, but you could probably still get a stir out of him by mentioning the latest NET rankings for Arkansas basketball.
Following their overtime win over Texas on Wednesday, the Razorbacks held steady at No. 40 in the metric used by the NCAA Tournament selection committee as the primary sort tool for evaluating teams. They check in one spot behind the Longhorns, who also held steady at No. 39 despite their loss.
No need to adjust your screen, you’re reading that correctly: Despite Arkansas completing a season sweep of its old Southwest Conference rival and being one game better in both overall and SEC record, Texas is still ranked higher in the NET.
