FAYETTEVILLE – The #21 Arkansas Razorbacks, coming off back-to-back 20-point road wins for the first time since joining the SEC, return home to host the Auburn Tigers on Saturday (Feb. 14). Tipoff in Bud Walton Arena is set for 7:30 pm (CT).

Auburn is one of three teams – all nicknamed the Tigers – that Arkansas will play twice during the SEC regular season. The Hogs swept LSU, playing the Tigers twice in a 17-day span. Arkansas lost at Auburn, 95-73, on Jan. 10. The other team Arkansas plays twice is Missouri. The Razorbacks will play those Tigers twice in a five-game span to conclude the season (Feb. 21 at home and Mar. 7 in Columbia).

After Auburn, Arkansas hits the road to face Alabama on Wednesday (Feb. 18), then plays Missouri (Feb. 21) and Texas A&M (Feb. 25) at home.

NOTES:

This will be the 63rd meeting between Arkansas and Auburn – and the second this season. All but one (a meeting in the 1967-68 season in Oklahoma City) have come since Arkansas joined the SEC.
The Razorbacks own a 38-24 advantage in the series, including a 23-6 margin versus the Tigers in games played in Fayetteville.
Auburn has won three straight in the series and 4 of the last 5. However, three of those five were played in Auburn.
Last month, Auburn defeated Arkansas, 95-73. Auburn had three big runs in the first half and never looked back in the victory. Keyshawn Hall led Auburn with 30 points (11-of-14 FG and 4-of-5 3PT). KeShawn Murphy added a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. The first Auburn run was 8-0 to take a 14-8 lead. The second one, Auburn had a 15-3 run, including an 11-0 spurt, to lead 31-17. The final run, Auburn out-scored the Hogs 9-0 to lead 47-30 with 1:28 left before the break. Malique Ewin recorded his first double-double as a Razorback with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Darius Acuff Jr. led the Hogs with 19 points.
Razorback head coach John Calipari now has 895 wins and is five shy of reaching 900 wins as head coach at an NCAA Division I program. Currently, only five coaches have at least 900 wins as head coach while at NCAA Division I programs: Mike Krzyzewski (1,202); Jim Boeheim (1,116); Rick Pitino (904); Roy Williams (903) and Bob Knight (902).
