The lone bright spot in last year's implosion in basketball was Arkansas's ACC/SEC Challenge upset of Duke. It usually took a marquee matchup win for Eric Musselman's team to build momentum, but the 2023-24 season didn't pan out the same.

This year, the Hogs are struggling with new head coach John Calipari. At 5-2, most thought the revamped Razorbacks would have a quality win already. Instead, they've lost to both high-major teams they've faced. However, the Hurricanes are near the teams Baylor and Illinois were.

Miami has lost four consecutive games. All but one have been to mid-major squads. Arkansas should head into Florida and take care of business, but it's tended to let teams stick around. Regardless, finally getting a win over a team they've at least heard of could help turn the tide for the Hogs.

Here's how you can watch tonight's matchup:
