It has been 15 years since the Arkansas Razorbacks have won an SEC West title in basketball. That feels like a lifetime for a program with a tradition of winning championships.

This season, the Razorbacks were expected to be at the bottom of the SEC West. Most experts picked the Hogs fifth in the division.

Less than a week ago, the Hogs were in the drivers seat with the SEC Western Division lead and heading into road games against the two worst teams in the division (Auburn and LSU).

Today, the Razorbacks have fallen a game behind Mississippi State in the West after losing both of those games; games that Arkansas fans had circled as wins and that most in and around the program probably expected to win as well.
