re: ESPN’s Tom Hart when asked

I guess you can take some solace in that. The problem is Arkansas has made a habit of losing in the first round over the last 25 years or so but hey, they made the tourney.

UMBC even made it past the first round in '18 as a 16 seed when Arky couldn't muster a win even when 8 seeds lower than them advanced plus all 3 of the other 7 seeds. Out of 32 games 25% of seeds lower than the hogs were able to win at least one game.
