FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas gave a jolt to its fading NCAA Tournament hopes with Saturday's 78-68 victory over Missouri at Walton Arena.
ESPN.com's Joe Lunardi made an appearance during Saturday's late game between Alabama and Ole Miss. He commented specifically on Arkansas' improved chances to make the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team after Saturday's victory.
"Arkansas certainly stays in the conversation, but at 5-9 in the league, they've still got to get some momentum here now that Isaiah Joe is back," Lunardi said. "I think Arkansas whole is a very good team."
Lunardi gave Arkansas a 55% chance of making the field during Saturday's Arkansas-Missouri broadcast, but he did not include the Razorbacks in his latest projection.
