Arkansas basketball adds MAAC opponent to 2025-26 non-conference schedule
The Arkansas Razorbacks men’s basketball team has reportedly added Mount St. Mary’s to their 2025-26 non-conference schedule, per Rocco Miller of The Bracketeer. The date is set for Dec. 16 at Bud Walton Arena.
The Mountaineers went 23-13 last season, including an above average 12-8 in MAAC play, but got hot at the right time and won their conference tournament as a 6-seed to get an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. They notched a victory over American in the First Four round before falling to No. 1 seed Duke in the Round of 64.
Head coach John Calipari has already made waves with a non-conference slate that includes neutral games against Duke (11/27), Texas Tech (12/13) and Houston (12/20), plus the Hogs will host Louisville, assistant coach Kenny’s Payne’s former team, in the SEC/ACC Challenge in Bud Walton Arena.
Other notable non-conference matchups that have already been scheduled are Baylor and Michigan State, but those dates have not been set.
