After beating Oregon (huzzah!) and losing to No. 4 Michigan State (w/e, it’s fine), Kevin Ollie’s UConn Huskies will face the Arkansas Razorbacks in the third-place game of the PK80’s Victory bracket.
Both teams bring a 4-1 record into the contest, as Arkansas lost to North Carolina, 87-68, in its previous game. Like UConn, the Razorbacks couldn’t really hold on against one of the country’s elite teams. This should be a much more even matchup.
Arkansas is ranked 39th in KenPom and holds wins over Oklahoma (26), Fresno State (91), Bucknell (81), and Samford (193), so the team is pretty well-tested.
