INDIANAPOLIS — On Saturday, the Arkansas Razorbacks will be taking on Oral Roberts University in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Both teams have been riding a wave of tough wins in the tournament. But ORU has managed to upset both Florida and Ohio State as the 15-seed in the South division.
Our own Hayden Balgavy sat down with Locked On Razorbacks host John Nabors to discuss the upcoming game, head Hog Eric Musselman, and the chances of Oral Roberts scoring its third straight upset.
Listen to the podcast episode here:
This is the first Sweet 16 for the Razorbacks in 25 years and the energy both in Arkansas and on the team is at an all-time high.
Now, the hope is that the Razorbacks can continue their amazing run and make an appearance in the Elite Eight for the first time since 1995.
And the Hogs do have a bit of practice against Oral Roberts because the two teams met in the regular season. In that game, Arkansas won by 11 points.
Both Balgavy and Nabors say it would be shocking if the Razorbacks lost, but that Oral Roberts couldn't be counted out especially after strong games in the tournament so far.
