Scouting Report

Arkansas hosts a struggling Georgia squad. Georgia’s NCAA hopes are all about the SEC Tournament, that the only way they make it and with the double bye thing it’s almost impossible for a bottom team to win it. Arkansas still has a shot to make the NCAA field. A win over the Bulldogs would put the Hogs at 19-10 (7-9 SEC) with regular season games at home with LSU and at Texas A&M to finish the season. Georgia is no pushover though, they are loaded with talent, abeit young talent. Anthony Edwards is a likely NBA first round pick. Arkansas is playing at home, however, and the Hogs have some shooters, including Isaiah Joe who one of the best shooters in the nation. When he gets his shot zeroed in he’s subject to hit four or five in a row. Playing in Fayetteville, look for the Hogs to prevail.
