While both teams are comfortably in thr NCAA Tournament, a win would benefit both teams on the seed line.
After starting the season in the top 10, Arkansas dealt with an injury to its best player, Nick Smith, which cost him much of the season and cost the Razorbacks a lot of games in his absence. He is back now and with his help, Arkansas beat Auburn 76-73 on Thursday as 2.5-point favorite to advance.
