Arkansas qualifies for 2025 NCAA Tournament after turnaround

Arkansas has made a surprising turnaround to qualify for the 2025 NCAA Tournament after a rough start, including an 0-5 record in SEC play. A key win against Georgia sparked an 8-5 finish in their last 13 games. Head coach John Calipari's first season has been unconventional, but recent victories, including a win over South Carolina in the SEC Tournament, secured their tournament spot. Freshman guard Boogie Fland will return for the tournament. Arkansas will face Kansas in the first round, a rematch of a preseason exhibition where they previously won. The team aims to build on their recent success and make a memorable run in the tournament.
