If you're heading to Fayetteville or settling in at home, the No. 12 Razorbacks open their season at 7 p.m. Tuesday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff at Bud Walton Arena. It's the first time the in-state foes have met in basketball, and Arkansas has been hesitant to play in-state opponents since 1946.
The Razorbacks have the youngest roster in the power conferences and one returner from last season's rotation, Billy Richmond. They won both exhibitions, over No. 15 Gonzaga and 93-81 over Memphis. Guard Jeremiah Wilkinson said, “We can't take any game for granted.”
