FAYETTEVILLE — The 19th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks are set to return to the court Wednesday to host Robert Morris University at Bud Walton Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m., with the game airing on SEC Network+.
This marks only the second meeting between the Razorbacks and the Colonials. The teams last played on December 20, 2012, when Arkansas narrowly defeated Robert Morris 79–74. In that game, the Razorbacks took the lead for good with just over 15 minutes remaining in the second half, but it remained closely contested throughout. Arkansas struggled from beyond the arc, shooting 4-of-18, and hit only 50% of their free throws, going 13-of-26 from the line. Despite those challenges, the Razorbacks recorded an overall field goal percentage of 52.5%, while holding Robert Morris to 36.4% shooting.
The matchup on Wednesday is part of a busy week for Arkansas basketball. The team will quickly turn around to host Central Arkansas on Friday. That game will also begin at 7 p.m. and be broadcast on SEC Network+.
