FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas will play its SEC home opener on Saturday (Jan. 2) versus 12th-ranked Missouri. Tipoff is set for 11 am (CT) and the game will be nationally televised on CBS.
The last time the Hogs played on CBS was twice in the 2014-15 season – at Kentucky (Feb. 28, 2015) and at Florida (Jan. 31, 2015). The last time CBS broadcast a basketball game from Fayetteville was Feb. 19, 2014, versus South Carolina.
This will be the 54th meeting between Arkansas and Missouri, but just the 17th since Missouri joined the league in 2012-13.
The Razorbacks own a 28-25 advantage in the series, including a 17-9 cushion in games in Fayetteville.
