FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas' full SEC schedule was released by the league office Tuesday. The Razorbacks conference slate is highlighted by a return of coach John Calipari to Rupp Arena after being the coach of the Kentucky Wildcats for 15 years.

That game, certain to be highlighted on national television, is Feb. 1, now under the direction of coach Mark Pope.

The Hogs face a tough road test to begin conference play against Tennessee, a team that made the Elite 8 last year. Other highlights include a home and away game against Texas.

The Razorbacks will make the trip to Austin Feb. 4/5 before the Longhorns visit Bud Walton Arena Feb.26. It will be the first time the two teams will meet in a regular season game since 2018. Texas won that game 73-71 in overtime.
