📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Looking Far Ahead. The SEC has announced the scheduling format for league games during the 2025 football season. Arkansas will host Auburn, Mississippi State, Missouri and Texas A&M while traveling to LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas.

The Razorbacks will host Texas A&M in Fayetteville for the first time since 2013, the Aggies’ second season in the SEC. Arkansas will also make a pair of road trips that the Hogs have not made in recent history with a game at Tennessee (first since 2015) and a return to former Southwest Conference rival Texas (first since 2008).

In addition to hosting four SEC games, Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium will host a pair of non-conference games, including a marquee matchup against Notre Dame on September 27. The Razorbacks and Fighting Irish will meet for the first time on the gridiron in the first game of a home-and-home series.

🔺 Crown Defense. The unanimously top-ranked Diamond Hogs are in the Plains to face 23rd-ranked Auburn for their first SEC road weekend series of the season. Arkansas is 20-6 overall against Auburn since 2015, and the Hogs have won seven of their last eight weekend series against the Tigers, including three of their last four weekend series played in Auburn. First pitch in the series opener between the Razorbacks and Tigers is 6pm on SEC Network.

🔺 Watch Me Now. Winning the NCAA Indoor high jump title by equaling the collegiate record and defeating the defending champion earned Razorback Rachel Glenn a place on the recent Bowerman watch list. This marks the career debut for Rachel on the Bowerman watch list as she becomes the 12th athlete from the Arkansas women’s program to be named to a watch list. Only Oregon (17) and Texas A&M (15) have had more women named to a watch list in award history.

🔺 MJM Grand. Arkansas women’s golfer Maria José Marin earned SEC Co-Golfer of the Week following her second career runner-up finish at the MountainView Collegiate. This is Maria’s fourth weekly honor in seven tournaments, as well as first Golfer of the Week award, with the other three coming as Freshman of the Week. Now with four weekly honors, she has surpassed former Hogs Stacy Lewis (2004-05) and Maria Fassi (2017-18) for most weekly honors in a season, as both received three in their respective years.

🔺 A New Frontier. It’s time for postseason action for Arkansas women’s basketball. The Razorbacks are set to play at No. 3 seed Tulsa in the inaugural NCAA Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament.

Including 2020 when postseason was cancelled due to COVID-19, this year marks six straight postseasons for Arkansas, which ties a school record. The WBIT is new territory for everyone as this is the inaugural playing of the tournament, featuring 32 teams that just missed the cut for the NCAA Tournament.

Arkansas and Tulsa will tipoff tonight at 6:30pm. Coverage of all WBIT games will be broadcast on ESPN Networks, with Thursday’s game streamed on ESPN Plus.
