No. 17 Arkansas basketball enters its Saturday morning clash with No. 16 Texas Tech with more than just a top 25 win on its agenda.
The Razorback roster has tried to push back on the idea of a revenge game after blowing a 16-point lead against the Red Raiders in last season’s Sweet 16. But the stakes are almost certainly higher for Arkansas’ returning pieces.
Additionally, the Hogs will have to deal with a player who has given them major headaches in the recent past, albeit repping a different set of colors. Texas Tech guard Donovan Atwell spent his previous three seasons at UNC-Greensboro, where he faced Arkansas twice.
