Live Blog: Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Illinois Fighting Illini NCAA Tournament Preview

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Today we debut a new live blog format that we hope will be more user friendly and interactive for our readers.
Full disclosure, this got completed for us 35 minutes ago, so we're all going to experience the highs and lows of rolling out new technology together. If it works as we hope, it will allow both Kent Smith and Andy Hodges to talk back-and-forth live as you all follow along.
We encourage you to be highly interactive. We're hoping to incorporate more direct communication, but for today, if you don't already follow us at @allhogswps on Twitter, head over there and give us a follow.
We will keep an eye out for direct messages throughout the blog and try to answer "school appropriate" questions when possible.
If all goes well, we will also have a live blog during the Arkansas-Illinois game on a separate post that we will link to in the blog.
So, without further ado, let's launch the blog.
