Social media trending in a positive direction for Razorbacks basketball
Going for its fourth straight win to start the season, the Arkansas men’s basketball team will take the court at Bud Walton Arena again tonight against a feisty UNC Greensboro team that took the Hogs to the limit a season ago.
With the football season not going as many Razorback fans had hoped, the Hog faithful is finding some solace through the highly-anticipated basketball season.
In last year’s game against the Spartans, the Hogs trailed by five at halftime, before making a second-half run for a 65-58 victory. Arkansas struggled at times on defense this past Monday, before taking an 86-77 win over Old Dominion.
Here is some of the chatter on Twitter – X – prior to the Razorbacks showdown with UNCG:

UNCG no pushover
Morning now afternoon Sherry. Gonna watch them Hogs tonight. UNC Greensboro will not be a pushover mid major. The Razorbacks are a fun team to watch. I already have some favorites.

Must shoot well
UNC Greensboro is going to force Arkansas to shoot the ball well in order to win. The Hogs are shooting 40% from downtown this year, but can they hit 3s when they NEED them? This will be the first test of that pic.twitter.com/YtqLhiWRRu

Scheduling complaints
Hogs schedule is rated the 2nd hardest in the SEC by KenPom rating coming into the year.
Hogs didn’t schedule a mid-major that won’t be competitive until ACU. Let the metrics play out. Ruta’s built schedules like this every year and they’ve been a top 16 seed 2/3 last years.
