Razorbacks Face Gonzaga in Preseason Showdown | College Basketball News

Arkansas Razorbacks hit the court early with a high-stakes preseason showdown against Gonzaga Bulldogs on October 24th at Bud Walton Arena — a game that could set the tone for Calipari’s first season. With Memphis also coming to town Oct. 28th, the Hogs are stacking tough tests before conference play, including a loaded regular-season slate against Virginia, Indiana, Michigan State, and Arizona. Gonzaga, fresh off a 31-4 run but missing key scorers like Graham Ike, brings a revamped roster under Coach Few — making this exhibition anything but easy. The two teams have split past meetings, most memorably when Arkansas stunned 1 Gonzaga in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. Calipari’s message? Challenge early, dominate often — and get ready for a wild ride. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
