The Razorbacks have become the Cinderella of the tournament this year, and they will look to keep their underdog story alive after pulling off wins over Kansas and St. John's in the first two rounds. Texas Tech has had the much easier path to the Sweet 16, defeating UNC Wilmington and Drake. They know face a hot Razorbacks team that has nothing to lose.
The Red Raiders are led by JT Toppin, who scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in their 77-64 win in the Round of 32. Toppin is averaging 18.1 points per game in his sophomore season, firmly establishing himself as an NBA prospect. A trip to the Elite Eight would further his case as one of the best young players in college basketball.
Billy Richmond III was huge for Arkansas off the bench in their massive upset win over No. 2 seed St. John's. Richmond scored 16 points on 6-10 shooting from the field and pulled down five offensive rebounds, harassing the Red Storm on the glass. He needs to provide that same energy when he checks into the game on Thursday if the Razorbacks want to keep dancing.
