Arkansas Razorbacks

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Razorback Basketball program released their non-conference schedule on Thursday morning.

Oct. 28 Purdue (1-1 all time, EXHIBITION)

Nov. 6 Alcorn St (Arkansas leads series 5-0)

Nov. 10 Gardner Webb (Arkansas leads 2-0)

Nov. 13 Old Dominion (first matchup)

Nov. 17 UNC Greensboro (Arkansas leads 2-0)

Nov. 22 Stanford (Stanford leads 2-0, Battle for Atlantis)

Nov. 23 Michigan/Memphis (Battle for Atlantis)

Nov. 24 TBD (Battle for Atlantis)

Nov. 29 Duke (series tied at 2-2, ACC-SEC Challenge)

Dec. 4 Furman (first matchup)

Dec. 9 Oklahoma (Arkansas leads 17-13, Tulsa)

Dec. 16 Lipscomb (Arkansas leads 2-0, North Little Rock)

Dec. 21 Abilene Christian (first matchup)

Dec. 30 UNC Wilmington (first matchup)

The slate includes an exhibition against a physical Purdue Boilermaker squad coming off a no. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament last season.

Arkansas will travel to the Bahamas for the Battle For Atlantis where they’ll tip off first against Stanford. They’ll play the winner or loser of Michigan -or- Memphis the next day. The Hogs haven’t played a regular season matchup outside the U.S. since 2007.

The Hogs will then return home for the highly anticipated ACC-SEC Challenge when they welcome Duke to town. With the Blue Devils winning the 2022 matchup during the Elite Eight it evened the series to 2-2. Prior to that, the two programs hadn’t met since the 1994 National Championship game in Charlotte, (N.C.).

Furman will meet the Hogs in a first time matchups. The Paladins are coming off a huge upset off of Virginia in last year’s NCAA Tournament. They eventually lost to NCAAT runner-up San Diego State during the second round.

Finally, the Hogs will meet Oklahoma for what could be the final Cardinal-Crimson tilt in Tulsa, (Okla.) at the BOK Center. Arkansas pulled away with a 10-point victory in last year’s matchup.
