FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — No. 14 Arkansas will make its first appearance in a competitive game Friday night when Cincinnati comes to Bud Walton Arena for an exhibition game.

It’s the first of two exhibitions for the Razorbacks ahead of their seasoncopener against Southern University Nov. 3.

The game is named The CareSource Invitational that supports mental health awareness part of a broader, mission-aligned initiative sponsored by CareSource, a non-profit managed care organization. The initiative aims to normalize the mental health conversation nationwide, break the stigma and promote the overall well-being of children and teens.

While the game is for a good cause, it does present a tough challenge for Arkansas. The Bearcats have already played one exhibition game this month, defeating No. 7 Michigan, 100-98, last Friday.

The Bearcats are coming off of a 19-15 season a year ago and head coach Wes Miller enters his fifth season leading the Bearcats with an 82-59 record at Cincinnati. His teams have won 20-plus games in seven of the last nine seasons.

The Razorbacks’ second exhibition game will involve a quick road trip to Memphis on Monday. Tip-off for that game is scheduled for 8 p.m. on ESPNU. That game will be apart of the Hoops for St. Jude Tip- Off Classic.

For those unable to attend Friday night’s exhibition debut of the Arkansas men’s basketball team that'll try and make a return trip to the NCAA Tournament, here’s how you can follow along:

This is a great opportunity to visit a Big Ten school and compete against nationally ranked teams.”
