The Arkansas Razorbacks' NCAA Tournament run continues in the Golden State. The Hogs are set to play Texas Tech at 9:09 p.m. CDT at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
The team's journey to this point in the tournament wasn't easy. Coach John Calipari had to upset two Hall of Fame coaches in Providence, Rhode Island, to make it here.
Boogie Fland made his first appearance since Jan. 18 as the Hogs took down Bill Self and the No. 7 Kansas Jayhawks in the opening round of the tournament.
No. 10 seed Arkansas beat coach Rick Pitino's No. 2 seed St. John's in the second round.
As the Hogs make it deeper in the tournament, so is their bench. Adou Thiero is set to rejoin the squad after missing several games due to injury. Coach Calipari made the announcement with Pat McAffee on ESPN.
"Am I breaking this with you Pat?" said Calipari. "Adou Thiero is available. He is available. Now, the most he will play — 12 minutes. Maybe 15 — I doubt. But you have to prepare now because we're a different team. Finally, we have a full roster."
The Hogs are set to get another round of practice Wednesday. 40/29 News will be there and hear from the team ahead of the game.
We'll have special coverage Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. on "Hog Wild: Road to the Championship."
