Bracket Express has high hope for Hogs.

-Former ARKANSAS head coach Stan Heath was moving at a slow pace, but at least he was moving in the right direction and it really looked like this would be their year. It still could be, but Heath will not be with them. New head coach John Pelphrey will take over for Heath, who was sent packing. This is a team that made the NCAA Tournament last year and was really playing well down the stretch. Pelphrey is a good coach, but his style is somewhat different than Heath's, and that may result in a transitional period where Arkansas could struggle. Talent wise and experience wise, they're stacked. Guards Patrick Beverley and Gary Ervin both averaged double figures last year, and did a good job passing the basketball as well. Forwards Charles Thomas and Sonny Weems also averaged double figures a year ago. This should be a solid NCAA Tournament team, and they have the potential to be a Sweet Sixteen caliber team, but I believe there are still a few question marks when it comes to the coaching transition.

Their current early, early projection has Arkansas as a #5 seed against Old Dominion in Omaha.  Oddly, TAMU is the #4 there facing UC-Santa Barbara.

Funny note, Florida is the #10 seed in Little Rock.

-WOFFORD AT ARKANSAS. The Razorbacks officially kick off the season under a new head coach. They are talented, experienced, and should make some noise come March.

This was listed in there "bye" games for tonight.  Go Hogs. :razorback:
