SEC tourney sets up Mizzou-Arkansas Part 3

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – And now, Part 3.

There are some great threequels in cinema history. “Rocky III.” “Toy Story 3.” “The Bourne Ultimatum.” And, say what you will about those Ewoks, but “Return of the Jedi” makes the cut, too.

Now it’s time for Tigers-Hogs III.

For the first time in series history, Mizzou and Arkansas will meet for the third time in one season in Friday’s SEC tournament quarterfinals. In fact, it’s just the second time in nine SEC seasons Mizzou will face an opponent for a third time. The first time came 2016-17 when Kim Anderson’s Tigers thrice played Ole Miss … and thrice suffered losses.
