The final home basketball game of the year is Saturday at Bud Walton Arena. The Hogs will take on Georgia, with hopes of punching their ticket to the NCAA tournament this year. It’s senior night, and the Hogs will be saying goodbye to Moses Kingsley, Dusty Hannahs, and Manuale Watkins after some pretty great careers.
