John Calipari's Arkansas Razorbacks lost in stunning fashion to Ole Miss in the second round of the SEC tournament Thursday. Rebels guard Sean Pedulla made a three-pointer with 1.3 seconds remaining to give Ole Miss the 83–80 win which sent them to Friday's quarterfinals for a date with top-seeded Auburn.
The loss leaves Arkansas squarely on the bubble without a further opportunity to prove themselves to the NCAA tournament selection committee. Currently, Sports Illustrated's Kevin Sweeney has the Razorbacks comfortably in as a 10-seed. ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi has the Razorbacks in the 68-team field as one of the tournament's last four byes.
