Pregame Tweets: Arkansas hosts No. 23 Kentucky in regular season finale
The final game of Arkansas basketball’s regular season is here as they host the No. 23 Kentucky Wildcats in Bud Walton Arena.
Arkansas is coming off back-to-back road losses to No. 2 Alabama and No. 12 Tennessee, but hopes that the magic of the “Basketball Palace of Mid-America” is enough to notch one more signature win before postseason play begins.
Kentucky will be without star guard Cason Wallace, who gave the Razorbacks fits in their first match-up a few weeks ago, as he remains out with a leg injury suffered earlier this week. The Wildcats will also be missing guard Savir Wheeler and possibly CJ Fredick – the latter of which is listed as a game-time decision.
As we get ready for action from Fayetteville, here’s some of the best pregame reactions on social media.
Kentucky will be without a couple of really good players today
Kentucky guards Cason Wallace and Sahvir Wheeler will not play today against Arkansas. Wing CJ Fredrick went through shootaround this morning and seems to be a game time decision.
