Arkansas vs. Central Arkansas

From @DanielFair

The Arkansas Razorbacks (8-2, 0-0 SEC) will have be away from Bud Walton Arena for the second time in two games on Saturday as they are set to take on the Central Arkansas Bears (2-7, 0-0 ASUN) at Simmons Bank Arena.

Arkansas picked up a statement 89-87 win over the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday, amidst the glitz and glamor of Madison Square Garden. The Hogs erased a 15-point deficit and also saw their own 18-point lead dwindle late in the game, but stifling defense pushed the Razorbacks to a win.

UCA is 2-7 on the season, with wins over Randall University (National Christian College Athletic Association D2) and North Carolina-Asheville. The Bears are in the midst of a three-game losing streak with losses to Georgia Tech, Little Rock and Arkansas-Pine Bluff in recent weeks.

This is the ninth time the Razorbacks and Bears will face off and Arkansas has a perfect 8-0 record against them. Six of the meetings came in the 1920s, '30s and '40s, and the other two came in 2020 (100-75 Razorbacks win) and 2021 (97-60 Razorbacks win).

In Little Rock, Arkansas has an 18-10 overall record. Last year, the Razorbacks downed Lipscomb 69-66 at Simmons Bank Arena.

Arkansas heads to Little Rock for in-state clash with UCA

From @DanielFair

The Arkansas Razorbacks (8-2, 0-0 SEC) will face their second in-state opponent of the season on Saturday when they head to Little Rock to play the Central Arkansas Bears (2-7, 0-0 ASUN) at Simmons Bank Arena.

This is the second neutral-site game in a row for the Razorbacks, who played at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday and earned a gritty 89-87 win over the No. 14 Michigan Wolverines. UCA is in the midst of a three-game losing streak, and took losses to Georgia Tech, Little Rock and Arkansas-Pine Bluff in recent weeks.

The Bears are led by first-year head coach John Shulman, who spent the last five seasons at Division II Alabama-Hunstville, where he amassed a 112-39 record and made the NCAA Division II Tournament every year.

It's been a rough go of it for Shulman since he arrived in Conway, as the Bears only have wins over Randall University (National Christian College Athletic Association Division II) and North Carolina-Asheville. They've lost games to BYU, Utah, Western Illinois and the aforementioned losses to Georgia Tech, Little Rock and UAPB.

Here's HawgBeat's preview of what you need to know about the UCA Bears ahead of Saturday's contest, including analytics, potential starting lineups and more...
