Pregame tweets: Hogs begin postseason with rematch vs. Auburn in SEC Tournament
March Madness is here and the Arkansas Razorbacks will start postseason looking for revenge against the Auburn Tigers in the SEC Tournament. In their lone matchup this season, the Razorbacks went on the road and struggled to take care of the ball and knock down shots in their 72-59 loss to the Tigers.
The major difference from then to now is that Arkansas guard Nick Smith Jr. is back for the team and playing good basketball since returning. Is he enough to get the Razorbacks over the hump this time? Vegas believes so. The Hogs are currently the favorite as the line sits at Arkansas -3.
ESPN’s BPI also favors Arkansas, as the Hogs have a 55% chance to beat Auburn and advance to the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament.
As we get ready for tip-off from Nashville, here’s what people are saying on social media ahead of the game.
Eric Musselman will be sporting some nice kicks again tonight

Commentator asks Jimmy Dykes who he likes in the Auburn/Arkansas game.
Two guesses who he picked but you’ll only need one. 😒

A little over one hour until the Hogs begin postseason play against Auburn. According to ESPN's BPI predictor, Arkansas has a 55% chance to win. Vegas also favors the Hogs as the line is currently Arkansas -3. Should be a fun one in Nashville! #WPS

Oh no. Hopefully they don't get tonight's assignment for Arkansas' sake
Given the first two officiating crews, I know multiple fanbases on my timline will be happy to know Doug Shows and Pat Adams are still available for the night session.
