Lunardi’s Bracketology has interesting setup for Arkansas

The bracket projection has the Hogs playing in a familiar place for the first round of the tournament — all the way up in the northeastern United States in Buffalo, New York. It’s the same place Arkansas spent the first and second rounds of the 2022 NCAA Tournament, and where it beat Vermont in the first round and New Mexico State to advance to the Sweet 16 and later an Elite Eight appearance. Lunardi’s projection has Arkansas matched up with Miami (Ohio) in the first round of the tournament, and should it advance to the Round of 32 would face the winner of Louisville-Illinois State.
