X marks the spot: Fans respond to Hogs return to Bud Walton Arena
It will be the first time in 15 days that the Arkansas basketball team takes the court in Bud Walton Arena, hosting Abilene Christian tonight at 6 p.m.
After suffering a 79-70 loss to Oklahoma in Tulsa, then a near-disaster in Saturday’s 69-66 win over Lipscomb in North Little Rock – blowing a 20-point second-half lead along the way – the Razorbacks (7-4) are back in their cozy confines.
Although the Hogs have struggled early in the season, Head Coach Eric Musselman has proven the last three seasons, that things can turn around in a hurry.
Here is some of the chatter on X, heading into tonight’s contest:

December metrics
Why December metrics matter for Arkansas… @JacksonCollier dives into the numbers and compares the metrics of this year's Hoop Hogs so far to past college basketball teams that did or did not make the NCAA Tournament. https://t.co/qiNcJ6e8fF #WPS

Undeserving in the Rock
War Memorial absolutely doesn't deserve a game. Football is dumb to play there. But saying that central Arkansas doesn't deserve basketball or baseball is crazy. Fans pack out Simmons bank Arena and Dickey Stephens Park to watch their Hogs play. https://t.co/iNgJls5PtY
