Arkansas Basketball to Host Top Five Opponent In Exhibition

Eric Musselman and his staff have done a great job with the non-conference schedule the past few years, and the upcoming season won’t disappoint either.

Arkansas and Purdue have agreed on an exhibition game, scheduled for October 28th, at 3:00 PM Central. All proceeds for the game will be donated to United Way, who will assist with relief efforts from tornados across the state of Arkansas this spring.

Now back-to-back years that the Hogs have played a top team in an exhibition, after facing Texas in Austin last season.

With Purdue returning 7-foot-4 Naismith National Player of the Year, Zach Edey, the Boilermakers will be a big test for the Hogs early on, in most likely both teams first game of the year.
