FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament for the first time Monday.

The SEC-champion Razorbacks (46-10) will host New Jersey Institute of Technology (26-22) in the NCAA Fayetteville Regional on Friday at 2 p.m. The Highlanders won the America East Conference Tournament on Saturday when the championship game against Stony Brook was canceled.

NJIT was awarded the automatic bid from the conference because it was the only undefeated team in the tournament.
