Arkansas Basketball: 5 Most Important Games Of 2014-15 Season

Arkansas Basketball — The Arkansas Razorbacks disappointingly missed out on the 2014 NCAA tournament despite two wins over the Kentucky Wildcats. This young, talented team will look to rebound with a trip to the 2015 NCAA tournament. Last season, Arkansas was fantastic at home, but struggled heavily on the road. This is why it’s no surprise that all five of their most important games are on the road this season.

Bobby Portis — The Tigers are a trap game for the Razorbacks. Clemson could be a decent team this season, but Arkansas can’t take a chance on hurting their resume.

Portis Madden — Ole Miss is one of the more talented SEC teams, but, with likely no more than four teams from the conference making it to the tournament, a win away from home for Arkansas could be the difference between the dance and the NIT.

Arkansas Basketball Coach — The Bulldogs are dangerous. They’re not flashy, they’re not overly talented, and they’re not streaky. However, they are capable of winning a lot of games this season and could be a loss that hinders the Razorbacks in the eyes of the Selection Committee.
