Arkansas will try to rebound from a heartbreaking 86-83 loss to #2 Alabama over the weekend as they head to Knoxville to take on #12 Tennessee. The Razorbacks (19-10) are in NCAA tournament crunch time and need a win on Tuesday night or a deep run in the conference tournament to find themselves in the field of 68. The Volunteers (21-8) aim to bounce back from a couple of late season losses and build steam for the postseason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arkansas had #2 Alabama on the ropes over the weekend, leading 37-28 on the road at the half but being outscored 58-46 after the break in the 86-83 loss<\/a>. The defeat drops the Razorbacks to 8-8 in the conference but perhaps more worrisome for Tuesday’s game is their 2-7 road record heading to Knoxville where Tennessee has gone 15-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tennessee has rebounded from road losses at Kentucky (66-54) and Texas A&M (68-63) to pick up a much needed 85-45 over South Carolina over the weekend. That victory was almost a given considering the Gamecocks are one of the worst teams in the SEC and the Vols were a -21.5 point favorite so the quality of competition ramps up a bit here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
