No. No. 16 Arkansas vs. No. 8 Baylor

Game example…

Head coach John Calipari will take his No. 16 Arkansas Razorbacks (1-0) on the road for the first time ever on Saturday as they are set to meet the No. 8 Baylor Bears for a neutral-site showdown at American Airlines. Center in Dallas.

The Razorbacks and Bears are set for a CT tip-off at 6:30 PM and the game will be broadcast live on ESPNU.

The season openers were very different for each team, as the Razorbacks earned a 76-60 victory over Lipscomb on Wednesday, while the Bears suffered a tough 101-63 loss at No. 6 Gonzaga on Monday night.

“We know they’re a better team than that,” Arkansas guard Johnell Davis said Wednesday. “We know they will come out to fight, so we have to stay alert.”

Baylor is coming off a 24-11 season in 2023-24 that saw an exit in the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a loss to Clemson. Head coach Scott Drew is in his 22nd season leading the Bears, who are loaded with three highly touted freshmen, a handful of key transfers and several returning contributors.

“I mean, when a team loses by 30 points, you usually know they’re hungry for the next game,” Arkansas forward Zvonimir Ivisic said Wednesday. “So it will be a good match. We’ll see.”

Arkansas has a 96-49 record in the all-time series against Baylor. The two teams have met just five times since 1990-91, with the most recent meeting being a 67-64 victory for the Bears in Waco during the 2022-2023 season. Baylor also defeated the Razorbacks 81-72 in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA tournament during the 2020-21 season on its way to winning the national championship.
