Just because there hasn’t been any help in our bracket doesn’t mean that these other upsets haven’t potentially set things up nicely for us if we can get through our region. We would go against the East region in a Final Four matchup which means we would get either UNC/UCLA or Purdue/St Peter’s.
Would be great to get some help from Arkansas in the Sweet 16, but I’m not sure that they are a good match up with Gonzaga. Will need Notae and Williams to have huge games, and Williams to get Timme or Holgrem into early foul trouble. Think Arkansas’s guards and SFs can give Gonzaga’s back court a tough time with the defense that they play.
Key will be if Arkansas can slow them down and keep their point total in the 60s or low 70s. If they do that, Arkansas can win. If it’s a game played in the 90s then Arkansas is in trouble. They don’t have the scoring to keep up.
