The Razorbacks released their non-conference slate Thursday, highlighted by three neutral-site games against Power Five programs. The Hogs' SEC schedule was released earlier this month.
Arkansas will open the season Nov. 6 at home against Lipscomb. The Hogs' first marquee game of the year comes later that week when they travel to Dallas to face Baylor on Nov. 9.
After that neutral-site matchup, Arkansas will have four straight home games. The opponents during that stretch are Troy, Pacific, Little Rock and Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Those matchups build into a key stretch of the non-conference schedule that includes games against Illinois, Michigan and Miami.
In conference play, Arkansas will take part in arguably the most anticipated game of the season across the country on Feb. 1 against Kentucky. Calipari will make first trip back to the Bluegrass State since leaving the Wildcats this offseason to become the new head coach at Arkansas. Calipari coached Kentucky for 15 seasons, winning one national championship and guiding the Wildcats to four Final Fours.
Arkansas will open league play on the road against Tennessee on Jan. 4. The first home SEC game will be Jan. 8 against Ole Miss. The Hogs wrap up the regular season at home against Mississippi State on March 8.
Before the regular season, the Razorbacks will partake in a pair of charity exhibitions. Arkansas will host Kansas on Oct. 25 and travel to face TCU on Nov. 1.
Below is a look at the full Arkansas basketball schedule for the upcoming season.
