Basketball is finally (almost) here! The Hogs are taking the court for the first time under new head coach John Calipari, and their first opponent is the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks.
Arkansas is facing Kansas for the first time since the Razorbacks knocked off the defending national champions in the 2023 NCAA tournament. The two teams met in the round of 32, where Devo Davis nearly single-handedly pushed the Hogs to a win in the second half. However, the Jayhawks didn't have their head coach, Bill Self, who had a heart procedure a few days before.
Now, the Hall of Fame coach is back with his team, looking for a little payback. Will he get it, or will Calipari's first season as the head Hog start with a band? Here's how you can watch and find out:
