🐗 And so much more! 

🎙 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

A part of a series of exclusive interviews with men’s basketball’s newest arrivals, Matt Zimmerman sits down with Arkansas native and McDonald’s All-American JJ Andrews to talk about what it truly means to wear the Razorback jersey. Andrews opens up about growing up in Little Rock, the influence of his father, former Razorback great Sean Andrews, and the moment he realized basketball could take him to the highest level. He reflects on winning state championships, back-to-back Peach Jam titles, and the lessons his family instilled that have kept him grounded through national attention and rising expectations. Andrews also discusses the bond already forming with Arkansas’ loaded freshman class, his defensive mentality, his excitement to play for Coach Calipari, and why winning matters more to him than stats or accolades. The conversation gives Razorback fans an early look at the maturity, toughness, and homegrown pride that make JJ Andrews one of the most anticipated players to come through Arkansas in years.

🔺 Punching Tickets. The top-ranked men’s Razorback track & field team advanced 21 entries to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, after competing in the NCAA West First Rounds. The Razorbacks saw several athletes achieve career-best performances and rankings among the top all-time at Arkansas.

The seventh-ranked women’s team qualified nine entries in six events for the NCAA Championships in Eugene. Sanu Jallow-Lockhart led the way with a world-leading time of 1:57.74 in the 800m and anchored the Razorbacks to a victory in the 4x400m relay. The Razorbacks also broke the facility record in the 4x400m relay and had several other standout performances.

🔺 Closing Time. The Arkansas Razorbacks’ historic softball season ended with an 11-0 loss to UCLA in the Women’s College World Series. Despite the loss, Arkansas finished with a 47-13 record, the second-most wins in program history.

🔺 Season Finale. The Razorback baseball season also ended over the weekend at the Lawrence Regional. The Hogs defeated Missouri State 9-5 on Friday after scoring eight unanswered runs. Arkansas fell to host Kansas 5-3 on Saturday, despite Hunter Dietz striking out a career-high 14 batters. Elimination stared Arkansas in the face on Sunday before they downed Northeastern 10-9. The win put the Razorbacks against Kansas again shortly after, in which Arkansas lost 13-10.

🔺 That’s A Wrap. The No. 6 Arkansas men’s golf team finished 19th at the NCAA Championships, narrowly missing the cut to advance to the final round.
