Oklahoma State Basketball: Five most entertaining prospective NCAA Tournament matches
1. Arkansas Razorbacks
2016-17 Record: 25-8 (12-6 SEC)*Playing in SEC Title Game now
Conference: SEC
ESPN Projected Seed: 9
The Arkansas Razorbacks are likely to fall short to the Kentucky Wildcats in the SEC Tournament Title Game today. However, the fact that they made it that far is impressive by itself. The Razorbacks defeated the Ole Miss Rebels and Vanderbilt Commodores on the way to the SEC Tournament Title Game this weekend.
Similar to Wichita State, the Cowboys already defeated the Razorbacks this season, in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge on Jan. 28. The Razorbacks came into the contest with the Pokes expecting to be competitive. OK State thoroughly dominated U of A on their way to a 28-point victory, 99-71.
Moreover, defeating a team from the SEC always makes for an entertaining victory for any other Power Five conference in any sport.

Prior to the SEC Championship Game, the Hogs played like one of the hottest teams in the country, winning nine of their last 10 games. Their only loss in that span came against the no. 12 ranked Florida Gators, who were eliminated before the Hogs in the SEC Tournament.
