— The pieces to Arkansas' nonconference basketball puzzle continue to fall in place.

The Razorbacks will host Dayton on Saturday, Dec. 13 at Bud Walton Arena, according to the Flyers' schedule released Friday. The game will be the first of a home-and-home series between the programs.

Arkansas is one of the only SEC schools yet to release its nonconference schedule, but five games are known via its opponents' schedules being released. In addition to Dayton, the Razorbacks will host Wake Forest on Nov. 19 and play road games at SMU on Nov. 25, Iowa State on Dec. 4 and Clemson on Dec. 7.

The Southeastern Conference schedule has also yet to be released, though the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday that Georgia will open its SEC slate with a home game against Arkansas on Jan. 6, 2015.
