The Arkansas basketball season hits its first major spotlight tonight against Baylor.
The No. 16 Razorbacks (1-0) and No. 8 Bears (0-1) will face off in Dallas for a top-25 matchup featuring two coaches who both turned down Kentucky this offseason. John Calipari left the Wildcats and chose Arkansas as his next stop, while Baylor head coach Scott Drew turned down an offer from Kentucky to be Calipari’s successor.
Both teams also have revamped rosters this season, relying on stars both through high school recruiting and the transfer portal. Arkansas kicked off this new era Wednesday night with a 76-60 victory over Lipscomb.
The Bears opened their season with a 101-63 blowout loss to No. 7 Gonzaga, and Calipari is wary of facing a motivated team looking to make amends.
“You understand what we’re walking into,” Calipari said. “They’re going to have a week of practice where they’re doing loose ball drills, charge drills. It’s going to be a rough house of competitive teams that are going after each other.”
