No. 1 Texas Suffers First Shutout in 9-0 Loss vs. No. 11 Arkansas: Live Game Log

It is time for yet another monumental SEC series for the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (38-5, 19-2), as they hit the road to take on the No. 11 Arkansas Razorbacks (37-9, 14-7) in a renewal of another bitter rivalry.

Texas enters this series red hot, riding a 10-game winning streak that dates back to their series finale victory over the Kentucky Wildcats, which claimed them another conference series win. During this winning stretch they've picked up two more conference series sweeps, as they dispatched both the Auburn Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies to stay hot in SEC play.

As for the Razorbacks, they have been one of the nation's top teams from the beginning of the season. However, they have lost three straight series in conference play and currently find themselves five games back of the first place Longhorns.

Starting off this series with a win would be huge for both teams. For Texas, it would bring them one game closer to clinching the regular season SEC title, while the Razorbacks look to shorten their gap to first place.
