FAYETTEVILLE – The 14th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks will see its first action in Bud Walton Arena on Friday (Oct. 20) by hosting the UT Tyler Patriots in an exhibition. The game is part of the sold-out 2023-24 season ticket package, but single-game tickets will be available to purchase by visiting the Razorback Ticket Center.
- Arkansas will host a second home exhibition game versus #3/2 Purdue on Oct. 28 (Sat.) in Bud Walton Arena. As an NCAA-sanctioned charity event, the game IS NOT part of the season ticket package and tickets can be purchased through the Razorback Ticket Center.
- This will be the first meeting between Arkansas and UT Tyler.
- Arkansas is 71-10 all-time in exhibition games. The Razorbacks had a streak of 35 consecutive exhibition wins snapped with a 90-60 loss at #12 Texas last year. However, Arkansas has won 35 straight exhibition games at home and is 63-9 all-time in home exhibition games. The last home exhibition loss was Nov. 14, 2003, a 76-71 setback to the EA Sports Midwest All-Stars.
- In last year’s first exhibition game – an 83-49 win over Rogers State – Joseph Pinion was the team’s leading scorer with 15 points off the bench (making 4-of-6 from 3-point) and Trevon Brazile was second on the team with 11 points.
