Arkansas’ women’s basketball team’s opponents at the 2022 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam were released Tuesday.

The Razorbacks, who stated in February they would take part in the event, will face Northern Arizona on Nov. 24, Clemson on Nov. 25 and Kansas State on Nov. 26. Georgia, Seton Hall, VCU and Wisconsin are also in the field, but in a separate four-team pool.

Games will be played at the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center in St. Thomas and streamed on ESPN3.

“Early season tournament settings against other postseason caliber teams is a great way for us to prepare for the SEC,” Arkansas coach Mike Neighbors said in a release.

Arkansas will be making its second appearance in the tournament. The Razorbacks also participated in 2002, when they defeated Old Dominion and Hampton, and lost to Duke.

Arkansas is 3-0 all-time against Clemson and 3-3 against Kansas State, and the programs last met in 2007 and 2019, respectively. The Razorbacks have never played Northern Arizona.

Arkansas’ schedule at Paradise Jam

• Nov. 24 — Northern Arizona, 5 p.m. CT

• Nov. 25 — Clemson, 8 p.m. CT

• Nov. 26 — Kansas State, 8 p.m. CT
