No. 7 Arkansas
The Razorbacks have gotten up for big games, owning a better record against ranked opponents, 5-2, than against unranked foes, 18-9. They also have a defensive anchor in intriguing NBA prospect Daniel Gafford,who’s blocking 2.1 shots per game despite averaging just 22.6 minutes. He upped his playing time to 25.7 minutes in the SEC tournament, indicating he’s capable of a heavier load in must-win games.
