Calipari Schedules Another Home Non-Conference Game for the Razorbacks
We’re gradually piecing together Arkansas’ game lineup, but so far, nothing major has been scheduled in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Arkansas Razorbacks’ non-conference schedule is gradually coming together with reports of a new December matchup. According to Rocco Miller of Bracketeer.org, John Calipari’s team will face North Carolina A&T at Bud Walton Arena on December 21.
So far, most of the known games will not be held at home, making this addition notable for Arkansas fans.
Arkansas 2024-25 Non-Conference Schedule (reported)
• Nov. 28 vs. Illinois, Kansas City, Mo. (Possible MTE)
• Dec. 3 at Miami (SEC-ACC Challenge)
• Dec. 11 vs. Michigan at Madison Square Garden in New York (Jimmy V Classic)
• Dec. 14 vs. UCA at Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Ark.
• Dec. 21 vs. North Carolina AT&T (Bud Walton Arena)
• Dec. 30 vs. Oakland (Bud Walton Arena)
Most of the stuff is done of who we’re playing,” Calipari has said earlier about the scheduling process. “Then, there may be one team that I try to do a home at home with, but we’re going to play in Little Rock, we’re going to play in Dallas. You need national games. You’ve got to play in Madison Square Garden.”
He aims to play major games on grand stages, which benefits the Razorbacks’ program. Calipari wasn’t hired amid all the excitement in April to miss out on that, and fans might have to accept fewer December games as a result.
Don’t expect the complete schedule anytime soon, though. It’s an ongoing process that typically extends into September.
