The Arkansas Razorbacks (22-13) take the court in the Sweet 16 against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (27-8) Thursday in San Francisco, CA.
The No. 3 seed in the West Region, Texas Tech defeated Drake in the second round, 77-64. Darrion Williams’ stat line was special: 28 points, six rebounds, and five assists. JT Toppin added 25 points and 12 rebounds. Chance McMillian, Tech’s third-leading scorer remains sidelined with an upper body injury. He may be activated for the Sweet 16. Do your homework and monitor his status.
The Razorbacks by far the lowest remaining seed at No. 10, are getting healthier as the Tournament progresses. NBA first round prospect Boogie Fland is back and in the rotation for John Calipari’s crew. He and Billy Richmond III came off the bench to lead Arkansas to a 75-66 win over St. John’s. Adou Thiero (knee) may be the next Razorback to return to the court. The junior forward and defensive ballhawk may suit up Thursday against Texas Tech.
