How to Watch, BetSaracen Odds: No. 14 Arkansas vs. Cincinnati (Exhibition)
The Arkansas basketball season begins on Friday night with a preseason exhibition matchup against the Cincinnati Bearcats at Bud Walton Arena in the CareSource Invitational.
This will be the first live action the Razorbacks, ranked No. 14 in the AP Preseason Poll, have this year and will be the first of two exhibition games in the span of four days, as the Hogs will travel to Memphis to take on the Tigers in an exhibition on Monday.

Arkansas finished the season with a 22-14 record overall that includes an 8-10 mark in Southeastern Conference. It entered the NCAA Tournament as a 10-seed and the Hogs advanced all the way to the Sweet 16 with wins over 7-seed Kansas and 2-seed St. Johns in Providence, Rhode Island.
The Hogs’ season ended in San Francisco, when they choked away a 16-point lead to the Texas Tech Raiders.
After the season ended, head coach John Calipari brought in two transfers in the front court with big men Nick Pringle (South Carolina) and Malique Ewin (Florida State). He also snagged two five-star freshman guards in Darius Acuff Jr. and Meleek Thomas, and four-star Springdale native Isaiah Sealy.
Four key players return from last year’s squad: Trevon Brazile, Karter Knox, Billy Richmond III and D.J. Wagner. They’ll face a tough test as Cincinnati already has an exhibition win under their belt against No. 7 Michigan in Ann Arbor last week.
