Sky-high. That’s the level of expectation for the Arkansas men’s basketball team in 2022-23.
Coach Eric Musselman and the Razorbacks are coming off consecutive Elite Eight performances. He landed six likely rotation players via the transfer portal. And with the nation’s No. 2 recruiting class, Arkansas fans are feeling itchy for a Final Four.
Apparently, the media feels the same. Arkansas was picked to finish second in the SEC in the league’s preseason poll. It’s the highest the Hogs have been tabbed in the preseason since being picked to finish second in the SEC West in 2007-08.
The Razorbacks have two exhibition games – Monday against Rogers State and October 29 against Texas. The regular season begins November 7 at home against North Dakota.
