PROVIDENCE — The 10-seed Arkansas Razorbacks know their Sweet 16 opponent, as the 3-seed Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated Drake on Saturday, 77-64, and will play the Hogs in San Francisco.
Arkansas weathered every punch 2-seed St. John's threw its way Saturday and walked out with a 75-66 win to advance. Freshmen guards Billy Richmond III and Karter Knox combined to score 31 points in the win.
"Well, they're not afraid and they want to prove themselves," Calipari said. "I don't believe any of them were all freshmen in our league. I think they have a little chip on their shoulder about that.
