COLUMBIA, Mo. — One team competing for seeding. Another team battling to stay on the right side of the bubble.
That’s the surface-level makeup of No. 15 Missouri and Arkansas, which will meet for the second time this season at 7 p.m. Saturday in Fayetteville, a nationally televised game on ESPN.
The Tigers (20-6 overall, 9-4 Southeastern Conference) enter their final five games of the regular season with a chance at cracking the top four seeds in both the SEC and NCAA Tournaments. The Razorbacks (15-11, 4-9) are in need of wins to make it into the latter postseason competition.
