What our Post expert thinks about the Arkansas vs. Arizona

In a matchup of two potent offenses, can the Razorbacks SEC tournament title momentum propel them to a big-time upset of the Wildcats?

John Calipari and freshman standout Darius Acuff Jr. face their biggest challenge yet, opposite this juggernaut roster of Arizona. Tommy Lloyd’s starting five includes Big 12 Player of the Year Jaden Bradley, as well as two dynamic first-year players in Brayden Burries and Koa Peat.

If this game comes down to critical possessions in crunch time, Arkansas has its closer in Acuff Jr., but the Wildcats’ outstanding net margin of victory could make punching their ticket to the Elite Eight a lot easier.

The Sweet 16 matchup between No. 1 Arizona and No. 4 Arkansas is set for Thursday at 6:45 p.m. MST in San Jose.

The game will be televised on CBS during the first day of NCAA Tournament regional semifinal play.

The most recent Arizona-Arkansas meeting occurred in 1995, making this a rare date. For what it’s worth, Arkansas leads the all-time series 6-2 and five of the eight matchups took place in the 1990s.

The other Sweet 16 contest in the West Region will see No. 2 Purdue take on No. 11 Texas, which was a First Four winner. That game will tip at 4:10 p.m. Thursday, also on CBS.

Arizona last qualified for the Elite 8 in the 2014-15 season under the leadership of Sean Miller, who has the chance to face his former school as the head coach of Texas.

Arizona defeated the No. 9 Utah State Aggies in the Round of 32 Sunday, 78-66. Brayden Burries and Koa Peat were the catalysts in holding off the Aggies, despite battling foul trouble as they finished with 16 and 14 points, respectively.

Arkansas punched its ticket into the third round of the national tournament by holding off No. 12 High Point, 94-88, on Saturday. The Razorbacks needed 36 points and eight assists from SEC Player of the Year Darius Acuff Jr. and a couple of late missed 3s from the Panthers’ sharpshooting Chase Johnston to emerge victorious.

The John Calipari-led Razorbacks easily defeated No. 13 Hawaii in the Round of 64.

Tommy Lloyd has not coached the Wildcats past the Sweet 16 in four previous NCAA Tournaments, losing each of his three times in the round (2022, 2024, 2025). His team is poised to do so as a unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press’ Top 25 rankings this season and with a 16-2 record against Quad 1 programs.

Arkansas ended as SEC Tournament champion, defeating Vanderbilt for its first title in 26 years. It finished tied for second with Alabama in the SEC regular-season standings. The Razorbacks, through conference tournament play, were No. 15 in the NCAA net rankings with an 8-8 Quad 1 record and perfect 18-0 mark against Quads 2-4.

Calipari, who is in his second season at Arkansas, led the Razorbacks to the Sweet 16 last season, where they narrowly lost to Texas Tech.

Arkansas most recently made the Elite 8 in 2022, which was its second of two consecutive trips.

Each basketball program possesses a national championship, the Wildcats being victors in 1997 and the Razorbacks in 1994.
