2026 Tournament PreviewIn his second year at Arkansas, John Calipari has his second NCAA Tournament berth, looking to get to the second weekend after doing so as a 10 seed in 2025. SEC Player of the Year Darius Acuff (22.9 ppg, 6.5 apg), a sure-fire NBA lottery pick, plays beyond his years, leading the team in scoring after taking over point guard early this season and shooting a team-high 44.5 percent on three-pointers. The Razorbacks rank eighth in the nation in three-point shooting (38.9 percent) and boast the nation's lowest offensive turnover rate, committing the fourth-fewest turnovers per game among tournament teams. Fellow freshman Meleek Thomas (15.3 ppg), who shoots 42.1 percent from deep, can take over games as well for the nation's sixth-best offense (per KenPom). Three seniors rotate in the frontcourt, led by 6-10 Trevon Brazile (13.2 ppg, 7.4 rpg). Arkansas has not lost consecutive games this season, and played Duke and Houston to within single digits. The Razorbacks have the firepower to make a run.
