📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Familiar Grass. Arkansas is one of 32 teams remaining in the NCAA Soccer Tournament, and will have to get through Pittsburgh tonight in a 2-seed vs. 7-seed match to move on to the Sweet 16. The Hogs have carried their astounding home win streak into this year’s tournament as they’ve been undefeated in 33 straight contests at Razorback Field. A win tonight would confirm another home match on Sunday.

Catch first kick at 6:30pm tonight on ESPN Plus.

🔺 Friday Night At Bud. The 3-0 Razorback men’s basketball team will close its season-opening, four-game homestand tonight vs. UNC Greensboro. This will be the third meeting between the Hogs and Spartans, and the second in as many years. The Razorbacks won last year’s game, 65-58. Tipoff is set for 7pm and the game will be broadcast on the SEC Network Plus. If you cannot attend the game, click here to learn how to use MussTix Transfer Program to ensuring a packed Bud Walton Arena every time the Hogs take the court.

🔺 To Jonesboro We Go. In Northeast Arkansas is where Arkansas women’s basketball will play Arkansas State (1-1) in front of an expected sold-out crowd at First National Bank Arena for the Hogs’ first road game of the season. Arkansas took care of business in their first in-state game against Little Rock this week to elevate its record vs. Natural State schools to 13-0 since 2019. The game will also tipoff at 7pm, and you can catch the broadcast on ESPN Plus.

🔺 Final Finish Line. The Arkansas men’s and women’s cross country teams return to the Panorama Farms course in Virginia for the NCAA Championships tomorrow morning. The 12th-ranked women’s team will kick things off with the 6,000m race at 9:20am, and the No. 7 men’s squad will race on the 10,000m course starting at 10:10am. Coverage will begin at 8:30am live on ESPNU.

🔺 One Last Saturday. Arkansas welcomes the Florida International Panthers to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for the Razorbacks’ final Saturday game of the season. It’s also the Razorback Foundation Member Appreciation Game of 2023, click here for more info on that!

The two programs have only met once before back in 2007, a game in which the Hogs ran for 249 yards on the ground and Darren McFadden scored four touchdowns in a 58-10 winning effort.

Kickoff’s at 6:30pm on ESPNU. If you’re heading to The Hill, here’s everything you need to know.
