History

The Razorbacks made the NCAA tournament for the first time in 2000. They beat Cal-State Northridge at the Norman regional marking their first ever tournament win. Between 2002 and 2011 they appeared in four NCAA tournaments. In 2012, the Razorbacks upset #1 seed California in the Berkeley regional before being defeated in back-to-back losses against the Golden Bears. They appeared in the tournament once again in 2013 with two wins against Fordham in the Norman regional. In 2018, the Razorbacks hosted their first regional and won against DePaul and Wichita State. From there, they went to #4 Oklahoma for their first-ever Super Regionals appearance where they lost in two games. In 2021, the Razorbacks hosted their regional as the No. 6 overall seed and beat Manhattan, South Dakota State, and Stanford. They advanced to host their super regional against Arizona, which they lost in two games. In 2022, the Razorbacks posted a program-best 48 win season, winning both the SEC regular season and conference tournament, earning them the No. 4 overall seed. They hosted their regional and beat Princeton and Oregon. In the Fayetteville super region, the Razorback lost to Texas in three games.
