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.
