FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ men’s basketball team has added a pair of home games to its non-conference schedule for the upcoming season.
The Razorbacks are set to host Fordham on Friday, Nov. 11 and North Carolina-Greensboro on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, according to game contracts obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. Game times have not been determined.
Fordham, a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference, finished the 2021-22 season at 16-16 overall and 8-10 in league play. Last season marked the program’s first since 2015-16 in which it finished .500 or better.
