The round of 64 in the March Madness 2015 Tournament kicks off Thursday, March 19 in various arenas across the nation. It’s 32 games in 48 hours and when it’s all said and done the field of 64 will be cut in half. The nightcap game for the West bracket is No. 5 Arkansas and No. 12 Wofford.
Arkansas finished out a strong regular season in a tough conference – the SEC. The Razorbacks posted a 26-8 overall record, 13-5 record in the SEC and loss in the SEC Championship Game to the No. 1 – and only unbeaten team – Kentucky. The Razorbacks will open up their NCAA Tournament play against No. 12 Wofford.
Wofford College earned an automatic bid to the Big Dance after winning the Southern Conference Championship over Furman, 67-64. The Terriers, who were also the conference’s regular season champs, are making their second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. In the four trips Wofford’s made to the tournament in program history, the Terriers have yet to win a game in tournament play. Last year, Wofford fell to Michigan in their first round. Back in 2010 and 2011, the Terriers fell to Wisconsin and BYU respectively.
The game starts at 9:50 p.m. Eastern and will be covered by TNT. The announcers for the game will be Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas and Jamie Erdahl.
The winner between Arkansas and Wofford will move on to face the winner of the No. 4 UNC vs. No. 13 Harvard game. That game will take place on Saturday, March 21.
