Playing its second game in two days in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, the Arkansas basketball team will have a quick turnaround from Wednesday night’s thrilling 77-74 double-overtime victory over Stanford, to Thursday’s old-rivalry matchup with Memphis.

Due to last-minute travel complications, the Razorbacks were late getting to the Bahamas on Monday, which altered their practice and preparation schedule, but still managed to shake off the funk late against Stanford.

Despite some sloppy play and sub-par shooting, Arkansas fans were still excited and relived to get the win over the Cardinal. Now, the Razorback faithful is pumped up about playing Memphis for the first time in 20 years.

Fans, and others, took to social media to share their praise and concerns for the Razorbacks. Here is a sample of what was posted:
