With hopes of a postseason appearance quickly disappearing for the Arkansas basketball team, most fans are hoping for the best, but expecting a continued downfall.
The Razorbacks (12-13, 3-9 SEC) will try to get back to an even record tonight at Texas A&M (15-10, 6-6). The Hogs are coming off a 71-67 loss at Mississippi State on Saturday, while the Aggies are also come stumbling in after getting trounced by Alabama, 100-75.
Arkansas enters the game as a 13-point underdog and has been given just a 10 percent chance at victory, according to the ESPN Power Index.
Already reeling from a short roster, the Razorbacks will be playing without three key pieces tonight, as senior Jalen Graham, as well as sophomores Trevon Brazile and Keyon Menifield Jr., will all be sidelined with injuries.
Arkansas is looking for the season-sweep against the Aggies, after defeating A&M, 78-77 on Jan. 16. Junior Tramon Mark won that game with a buzzer-beating jumper, after the Hogs had blown a 20-point lead.
Here is some of the pregame chatter posted on X:

Coach Z looking back
Dream on
Looking to sweep
Tip-off in College Station is just a few minutes away as Arkansas will look to sweep Texas A&M on the season.
After scoring 41 points in Fayetteville last month, it’ll be very interesting to see how the Razorbacks try and guard Wade Taylor IV tonight.

Painful to watch
I haven’t watched the Razorbacks last few games. It’s just to painful to watch. Even with the A&M win, it seemed like a fluke good half of basketball. Seemed to have been the case. This goes straight up to coaching as Muss admitted today. Still hoping they turn it around. #wps
