Hey, if the Arkansas Razorbacks do not win the SEC championship or even the SEC West they could lay claim to being the best team in the Big 12 Conference. The Hogs have defeated the top 2 teams in the Big 12. On December 30th Arkansas beat Oklahoma, then ranked #4, 96-88 giving the Sooners their first loss of the year. Then Tuesday night Arkansas defeated #7 Texas 67-61.Yes Arkansas, now 12-1 on the season, did win those games at Bud Walton Arena but the Razorbacks are doing exactly what you have to do to win 20 games, protect your h
ome court. Most importantly there wasn't much excitement from a team expected to finish at the bottom of the SEC West. But those 2 big wins over Oklahoma and Texas has got the fans high on the Hogs. Talk about a huge confidence boost heading into SEC play.

One of the big reasons why the Razorbacks were invited into the SEC in 1990 was to counter balance Kentucky's basketball dominance. Those Arkansas/Kentucky games in the 90's were battles and I witnessed a few of those.
This year the SEC West is up for grabs. Tennessee is the class of the SEC this season, but Arkansas may have the talent and the athletes to challenge the mighty Volunteers. The Hogs and Vols meet February 4th in Fayetteville. Has the schedule work out great for Arkansas or what.
All the Razorbacks have to do is protect it's house and special things could happen in my home state. I guess you could say I'm a little biased.
