Not a hog fan but that really sucks. Don't tell me other teams went very far in their conference tournament so they deserve a regional over the hogs.

I mentioned this in another post, but Arkansas is going to shite on that regional and outnumber fans 5 to 1. They better stock up on the Tyson chicken nuggets asap.

For reference, we have the largest average attendance in the big 12. We’re below A&M, at #11 in the SEC lol.

“Growing the game”

Arky didn’t get a regional because they didn’t want half the host sites be SEC lol

Their RPI was low vs others that are hosting.

Which shows you KPI and DSR weren’t all that important. Arkansas is 14th in both.

We sure outnumbered you in head to head victories this year in Stillwater. Not to mention that arse kicking we just gave you in the tournament on top of it.

What’s weird is we beat #3 in the country and didn’t move up at all. I think it was decided before the tournament and it didn’t move so they could have that reason. In any rate, we were 21 in RPI and had more quarter one wins than anyone in the conference. It was a hit job like we tend to take so many times in this conference. People wonder why Arkansas fans will never chant SEC? frick everyone else

Committee figured Arky fans suffered enough that hogs fans should be spared this season postseason choke job from being seen in person? Just a guess

Well, if the committee prioritizes RPI, which they have done consistently in previous years, it wasn’t a hit job, it was pretty cut and dried.

Arkansas is a fine team and depending on matchups, might benefit them in the end. It’s all about the matchups.
