SDSU men add Arkansas to schedule

Posted

BROOKINGS – A schedule opening has provided an opportunity for the South Dakota State men’s basketball team as the Jackrabbits have added a non-conference game at Arkansas to its slate.

The Jackrabbits will face the Razorbacks in Fayetteville at Bud Walton Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 16. The two programs have never met on the hardwood. Arkansas, under fourth-year head coach Eric Musselman, heads into the upcoming season expected to be among the upper echelon of Division I basketball. The Razorbacks have advanced to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament back-to-back seasons.  

SDSU is now expected to play two contests at the regular season multi-team event held at Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Ga., from Nov. 25-27. Opponents, game dates and times are still being finalized.
