Gators Host Dangerous Arkansas Team Wednesday
Gators Look for Bounce-Back of UK Loss
The dangerous Arkansas Razorbacks and the Florida Gators in a what should be a great SEC matchup Wednesday when they battle at Stephen O’Connell Center. Arkansas looks to have battled it’s way off the NCAA Bubble, but could use a victory against a Top 15 team. Especially on the road. Arkansas hasn’t defeated a top 15 team away from home since winning at No. 12 Alabama on Jan. 27, 2007.
The Razorbacks have rolled off five consecutive victories. Three of the wins came on the road. The hot streak seems to have elevated Arkansas into a most likely NCAA Tournament team, unless they have a meltdown.
Florida had a strong run of nine straight wins before running into first-place Kentucky.
