.@RazorbackMBB has a record eight regular-season games only available on SECN+ in 2026-27 (all non-con).
Previous most was six, in 2025-26, 2024-25, 2023-24 and 2019-20.
Georgia @ @RazorbackMBB on January 19th (8pm start): for some reason ESPNU loves UGA vs. Arkansas. This will be the 5th UGA-AR matchup on ESPNU all time, the most for any Arkansas series.
.@RazorbackMBB has one 11am (Central) road game this season, at Tennessee on January 16th. Remember that Arkansas went 0-7 in true road games that started in the 11am CT hour from 2011-12 through 2024-25, then went 2-0 in such games last season.
If you're not a night owl, that's the bad news. The good news for Hog fans is @RazorbackMBB is 22-2 in 8pm games in BWA since January 2019 (15-2 SEC), including 8-0 under Calipari (6-0 SEC).
An 8pm tweet about 8pm: @RazorbackMBB is scheduled to play 8 games in the 8pm Central hour in 2026-27, its 3rd-most in a season since at least 2011-12 (9 in 2024-25 and 12 in 2014-15).
That includes 5 games in BWA. Last time with that many 8pm Fayetteville games was 2014-15 (8).

Last ABC broadcast of a @RazorbackMBB game I've documented is 1/14/1995 @ Auburn - regional broadcast split with UVA-Duke, UCLA-WSU & Tulane-Cincy.
Previous before that appears to be vs UT in the 3/10/1991 SWCT title game, also apparently a split, w/ SECT

With his 20-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter against Tulsa, WR Chris Marshall is now up to 184 receiving yards on eight catches (23.0 ypc).
His 184 receiving yards rank 10th in @RazorbackFB's single-game top 10 list.
That time an NBA exhibition game pitting 2 former Hogs against each other was played in Barnhill Arena:
September 21, 1980 - On the court where they once made magic, the Blazers Ron Brewer and the Bucks Sidney Moncrief gave the 7,123 Arkansas Razorback fans something to cheer about, no matter what happened.
The Bucks, led by Marques Johnson 19 points and 18 by Moncrief, defeated the Blazers 110-108 in Fayetteville, Ark. The two teams played in Little Rock two nights ago, with the Bucks winning there too. "We learned about a lot of things that need improving," said Portland coach Jack Ramsay.
The two former Arkansas players have ensconced themselves in their respective starting lineups, with each complimenting the other. "Sidney is a super inside player for his size," Brewer said about Moncrief, adding, "I think he has a bright future ahead of him." Moncrief said of his former teammate, "Ron is a super scorer, he can beat you so many ways."
