FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) _ Arkansas' postseason hopes looked all but lost
following back-to-back losses to Missouri and Vanderbilt last month.
Since then, however, the Razorbacks (23-8, 12-6 Southeastern Conference) have
won six of seven games to earn the No. 3 seed in this week's SEC Tournament, and
they appear well on their way back to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in
three years.
Arkansas won 27 games two years ago before falling to a 16-16 record last
season. This year, the Razorbacks have rebounded with a rebuilt roster that
features seven new players _ including junior-college transfers Jaylen Barford
and Daryl Macon.
Arkansas ended its regular season with an 85-67 win over Georgia on Saturday,
and it is currently 29th in the NCAA's RPI ratings.
