Projection: likely out
Arkansas has had a shaky start to the season, with a mixed bag of wins and losses that raises concerns about their overall standing. Despite victories over Lipscomb and Troy, they struggled against Baylor in a close loss that reflects their inconsistency, particularly against ranked opponents. The upcoming schedule presents both opportunities and challenges; matchups against Illinois and Miami could be defining moments. While they are favored against teams like Arkansas Little Rock and UT San Antonio, games against top-tier teams like Tennessee and Kentucky will likely expose weaknesses, especially in terms of offensive efficiency where they sit on the lower end compared to their defensive performance. The ability to secure quality wins in these significant matchups will be crucial for their tournament aspirations.
