Men’s Basketball Opens “Training Camp”

FAYETTEVILLE – The University of Arkansas men’s basketball program held its first official practice for the 2019-20 season Tuesday afternoon at the Edie Sutton Men’s Basketball Practice Gym.

First-year head coach Eric Musselman deemed today “the start of training camp.” His team has been able to work out since his arrival in April, but a majority of that time was spent on team development. Today, the program turned its focus on the 2019-20 season.

“We have been pleased with the buy-in, effort, energy and enthusiasm that our guys have shown,” Musselman said. “Now it becomes a grind – this training camp segment. When you don’t have a game, you need to have mental toughness to get through practices in order to accomplish what we want between now and our first game.”

The fans will get their first look t the 2019-20 team on Oct. 5 (Saturday) at the annual Red-White game. The scrimmage is set for 3 pm and will be played in Barnhill Arena. (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO)
