Arkansas to Face Auburn in SEC Tournament

FAYETTEVILLE – The matchups are set and Arkansas, the #10 seed, will face #7 seed Auburn in the SEC Tournament. The squads will square off on Thursday (Mar. 9) in Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena at 6 pm (CT). The game will be televised on SEC Network.

The winner will face #2 seed Texas A&M in the quarterfinals on Friday at 6 pm.
