All-Time Series: Arkansas Leads 2-0
2020 struck again and here we are preparing for a game that wasn’t officially scheduled until Monday night. Arkansas was supposed to play on the road for the first time this year on Tuesday night at Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane had a player test positive for COVID-19 and the game was cancelled.
As a result, the mad dash to find a game began for the Arkansas staff. On Monday, fans speculated on Twitter who might the new opponent might be. Some wanted SMU, others suggested Little Rock, and a few crazy ones were begging for St. John’s.
