The Wildcats will hit the Rupp Arena floor for the fourth time in five games tonight for a late night tipoff on the SEC Network. UK is now being projected as a one-seed in the NCAA Tournament and they’ll be looking to bolster that tournament resume in addition to staying in the SEC championship race starting tonight.
UK is set to face an Arkansas team that quickly went from firmly on the NCAA bubble to the NIT bubble in just a couple of weeks. Since upsetting LSU in Baton Rouge on Groundhog Day, the Hogs are 1-5 with losses to Mizzou, South Carolina, and Texas A&M.
