Arkansas enters the tournament with one of the more athletic rosters in the field, built around length, defensive pressure, and transition scoring. The Razorbacks have leaned on a balanced attack this season, with multiple players capable of scoring in double figures while forcing turnovers on defense.
Hawaii arrives as a potential upset contender after a strong run through conference play, relying on disciplined execution and a slower tempo. The Rainbow Warriors have emphasized ball movement and efficiency, often controlling pace and limiting mistakes to stay competitive against more athletic opponents.
This matchup could ultimately come down to tempo. Arkansas will look to speed the game up and create opportunities in transition, while Hawai‘i aims to slow things down and execute in the half-court. If the Rainbow Warriors can dictate pace and knock down perimeter shots, they could put pressure on the Razorbacks early.
