FAYETTEVILLE — There is a lot of hype surrounding this year’s Arkansas basketball team and nothing that happened in its season opener Monday night will change that.
If anything, what the No. 14 Razorbacks did in their 93-59 shellacking of Alcorn State inside Bud Walton Arena will only further ratchet up the sky-high expectations for 2023-24.
How high are they? Earlier in the day, Fox Sports pundit John Fanta not only picked Arkansas to make the final Final Four, but he has the Razorbacks winning it all for the first time in 30 years.
