FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas men’s basketball will host the Southern University Jaguars on Wednesday (Dec. 9). Tipoff is set for 7:00 pm at Bud Walton Arena. It was also announced that the Razorbacks’ home men’s basketball game on Saturday (Dec. 12) with Central Arkansas will now start at 7:00 pm.
The UCA start time was moved due to Arkansas football hosting top-ranked Alabama on Saturday at 11:00 am on ESPN.
Arkansas was originally scheduled to play at Tulsa on Tuesday (Dec. 8) but the Golden Hurricane was forced to postpone the contest due to COVID-19 protocols. Southern was scheduled to play at top-ranked Gonzaga on Thursday (Dec. 10) prior to Gonzaga pausing all team activities due to COVID-19 protocols.
Arkansas and Southern have met on two previous occasions with the Razorbacks winning both meetings. Arkansas defeated the Jaguars 76-75 in Pine Bluff on Nov. 29, 1985, and 86-68 in Bud Walton Arena to open the 2015-16 season.
