FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas will have its second and final tune-up before the 2024-25 season opener when the #16 Razorbacks travel to Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena to face TCU on Friday (Nov. 1). Tip-off is set for 7 pm.

• Arkansas has faced TCU 143 times in regular-season games and owns a 105-38 advantage in the series, including a 4-2 mark in neutral-site games and a 46-21 advantage in games played on TCU’s campus in Fort Worth. TCU, which is coming off its third straight NCAA appearance for the first time in program history, is one of six teams the Razorbacks have faced at least 100 times in its history, joining Texas A&M (169), Texas (155), SMU (155), Baylor (145) and Rice (144), and one of three teams the Hogs have beaten at least 100 times, joining Texas A&M (108) and Rice (103).
• The Razorbacks and Horned Frogs last met on Jan. 25, 2020, in Bud Walton Arena – ending a 28-year drought in the series – as part of the SEC-Big 12 Challenge. Jimmy Whitt Jr., and Mason Jones each scored 20 points in the 78-67 Razorback win.
• Razorback head coach John Calipari is 7-1 all-time versus TCU. All eight meetings came while Cal was at Memphis and both schools were members of C-USA. They played twice a year from 2002 to 2005.

NOTES:

• Arkansas is 3-1 all-time in charity exhibitions. The Hogs defeated #1 Kansas last week, defeated #1 Purdue last season and defeated Little Rock prior to the 2019-20 season. Arkansas’ lone loss was at #12 Texas prior to the 2022-23 season,
• Overall, Arkansas is 74-10 in exhibition games and has won 38 of the last 39.
• This will be just the 14th time Arkansas has played an exhibition away from Fayetteville and just the third time the Razorbacks have played outside the state for an exhibition game. The last time Arkansas played a road exhibition was Oct. 29, 2022, at Texas in a game to christen the Longhorns’ new basketball facility – the Moody Center. The other out-of-state exhibition for Arkansas came prior to the 1978-79 season when the Razorbacks traveled to Anaheim, Calif., to face Athletes in Action for an exhibition on Dec. 9, 19878, a game the Hogs lost, 75-68. Arkansas has played 10 exhibition games in Little Rock, the last coming on Nov. 20, 1991, and posted a 9-1 record. The Razorbacks played once in Pine Bluff, a 97-69 win over the Brazilian Nationals on Nov. 10, 1976.
