9. Arkansas 

Last year: 22-14
Postseason: Reached NCAA Tournament, lost in Sweet 16 to UConn

Eric Musselman is never going to lose in the transfer portal. From Tramon Mark (Houston) to El Ellis (Louisville) to Keyon Menifield (Washington) to Khalif Battle (Temple), it's really something just how many quality and intriguing pieces the Razorbacks were able to reel in yet again. Devo Davis is back to supply experienced guard play, while dynamic forward Trevon Brazile returns from an injury and four-star big man Baye Fall is expected to step right in as a freshman and play a significant role inside.  There's no slowing down for the Hogs, and while there is a level of unknown as to how all the transfers will mesh together, Musselman has such a bevy of options and has figured out how to peak at the right time. Before 2021, the Razorbacks had not reached the Sweet 16 since 1996. They've now done that three years in a row. I'm more bullish on Arkansas than others, but recent history suggests they'll be a factor again deep into March as they figure one another out.
