Arkansas will play South Carolina, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Tennessee only on the road. Times and TV information for each game will be announced at a later date.
In Eric Musselman’s first season, the Razorbacks finished 20-12 overall and 7-11 in the SEC, including 5-4 in games in Bud Walton Arena. The team’s road wins in league play came at Ole Miss and Alabama.
Prior to the remainder of the season being canceled because of concerns surrounding covid-19, the Razorbacks defeated Vanderbilt in the opening game of the SEC Tournament in Nashville, Tenn.
Arkansas’ 2020-21 roster features 10 newcomers, including graduate transfers Vance Jackson, Justin Smith and Jalen Tate, a top-10 freshman class and two returning players with experience in juniors Desi Sills and Ethan Henderson. Guard JD Notae and forward Connor Vanover are also eligible to play after redshirting last season.
The Razorbacks will hold their annual Red-White game on Nov. 12 in Bud Walton Arena.
