The road to Omaha starts today for Arkansas as it opens the Fayetteville Regional against North Dakota State on Friday.
The Diamond Hogs have fallen short in their own regional each of the last two seasons, but Arkansas baseball coach Dave Van Horn confidently said at Thursday’s presser that “this team’s a lot better than last year’s team or the year before.” After earning the No. 3 national seed, the Razorbacks’ first step in proving that is taking down the Bison at 2 p.m. CT inside Baum-Walker Stadium and on ESPN+.
North Dakota State limped through the regular season and enter the NCAA Tournament with a 20-32 overall record after besting Oral Roberts in the Summit League tournament.
