1957–58 Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball team

The 1957–58 Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball team represented the University of Arkansas in the 1957–58 college basketball season. The Razorbacks played their home games in Barnhill Arena (then known as Razorback Fieldhouse) in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Arkansas competed in the Southwest Conference. It was former Razorback All-American Glen Rose's sixth season in his second stint as head coach of the Hogs and fifteenth season overall as Arkansas's coach.[1] The Razorbacks tied for the Southwest Conference championship with a record of 9–5 against SWC teams and 17–10 overall.[2][3] Arkansas earned the SWC's bid to the NCAA Tournament, but lost both its second-round game and regional consolation match.[4][5] The Oklahoma State team that beat Arkansas in the Sweet Sixteen featured future Razorback head coach Eddie Sutton at point guard.[6]
