The Southeastern and Big 12 conferences will unite to help bring awareness to the Mike Slive Foundation and its fight against prostate cancer during Big 12/SEC Challenge games on Saturday.

Arkansas vs TCU

• TCU is one of Arkansas’ oldest rivals. In fact, the Horned Frops are the third of three teams on this year’s schedule that Arkansas played in its first season of basketball (1923-24) along with Texas A&M and Rice.
• The Arkansas and TCU rivalry dates back to the Razorbacks’ first season of basketball, 1923-24. The two squads played twice that year — both Fayetteville and it was Arkansas’ second Southwest Conference series ever played. (Teams played back-to-back games then.)
• Arkansas owns a 104-38 advantage in the series, including a 54-15 mark in games played in Fayetteville.
• TCU is one of three teams Arkansas has beaten at least 100 times along with Rice (103) and Texas A&M (103).
• With 142 games played, TCU is Arkansas’ sixth-most common opponent behind Texas A&M (159; 103-56), Texas (155; 87-68), SMU (155; 96-59), Rice (144; 103-41), Baylor (143; 95-48) and TCU (142; 104-38).
• However, the Razorbacks and Horned Frogs have not played once since Arkansas left the Southwest Conference to join the SEC for the 1991-92 season.
