Hogs facing strong regional field starting Friday

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas drew the No. 3 overall seed for the NCAA Tournament field, announced Monday morning. Going farther will require going through a couple of pretty good teams to reach a Super Regional.

TCU, the Big 12 champion, will be in Fayetteville as the No. 2 seed and Arizona out of the Pac 12 is ranked No. 3. Santa Clara will be the other team coming to town. It’s a double-elimination Regional, which begins on Friday afternoon at Baum-Walker Stadium.

It is the 19th appearance in 20 seasons under Razorbacks coach Dave Van Horn. The Hogs have also earned a top-eight national seed for the sixth time, a feat they accomplished in 2004, 2007, 2018, 2019 and 2021.

If the Razorbacks were to win the Fayetteville Regional and advance in the NCAA Tournament, they would face the winner of the Terre Haute Regional, which is hosted by No. 14 Indiana State. Iowa (2-seed), North Carolina (3-seed) and Wright State (4-seed) make up the rest of the Regional.

A game time and full broadcast details are expected to be announced later today. All NCAA Tournament games will be streamed on ESPN+ and you can hear Phil Elson and Bubba Carpenter on ESPN Arkansas 95.3 in the River Valley, 96.3 in Hot Springs and 104.3 in Harrison-Mountain Home..
