PORTLAND, Ore. — Arkansas, coached by John Calipari, faces No. 13 Hawaii in Thursday's NCAA Tournament opener after winning the SEC Tournament title Sunday.

Pringle did not fully participate in Wednesday’s open practice, while Malique Ewin and Trevon Brazile prepared to carry frontcourt minutes. Ewin averaged 9.6 points per game and Arkansas relied heavily on his on-floor offense, per CBBAnalytics. The game is scheduled for 3:25 p.m. Central at Moda Center.
