Memphis vs Arkansas Preview

This year’s Razorbacks team includes several players familiar to Memphis fans, most notably former Tiger Chandler Lawson. He contributed strongly last night with nine points and 13 rebounds off the bench for Arkansas.

In addition to Lawson, Arkansas features Khalif Battle, Jeremiah Davenport, and Tramon Mark, who all transferred in from AAC schools.

Despite recent struggles, Eric Musselman has assembled one of his most talented rosters at Arkansas. While integrating all these pieces remains a work in progress, this team has the potential to compete at the top of the SEC.

Rivalry Renewed

The Memphis and Arkansas basketball rivalry stands as a testament to the rich history and tradition of college basketball in the Mid-South. The geographical proximity of Memphis and Arkansas intensifies the competition, creating a sense of local pride and community engagement around each game.

No one involved in today’s game understands the significance of this rivalry quite like Penny Hardaway. During his college playing career at Memphis, he faced the Razorbacks three times, including a memorable NCAA tournament matchup.

After nearly two decades without facing each other on the court, this game promises to reignite the rivalry in full force.
