Arkansas Razorbacks Host Robert Morris at Bud Walton Arena

The No. 19/20 Arkansas Razorbacks return to Fayetteville on Wednesday, Nov. 11, to face the Robert Morris Colonials at 7 p.m. CT, according to arkansasrazorbacks.com.

Arkansas enters the matchup with a 1-1 record, looking to establish momentum in the SEC. The Colonials arrive with an 0-2 record as they begin their Horizon League campaign.

The matchup features a notable personal connection for the Razorbacks. Head coach John Calipari is a native of Moon Township, Pennsylvania, where Robert Morris is located. Calipari graduated from Moon Area High School in 1978.

The two programs have a sparse history on the court. Their only previous meeting occurred on Dec. 20, 2012, when Arkansas won 79-74.

During that 2012 contest, the Razorbacks struggled from the perimeter and the free-throw line. Arkansas shot just 4-of-18 from three-point range and 13-of-26 from the charity stripe. Despite those inefficiencies, the Razorbacks maintained a 52.5% field goal percentage to secure the win.

Current season data highlights Arkansas’s efficiency in transition. The Razorbacks currently rank 4th in the NCAA in fastbreak points, totaling 290 points through two games. This follows a season last year where they ranked 2nd nationally in that category, averaging 18.84 points per game in the fastbreak.

Wednesday’s game serves as the start of a dense stretch for the Razorbacks. Arkansas will host Central Arkansas on Friday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m. CT.

Fans can watch the Robert Morris game on SEC Network+. The broadcast will feature Brett Dolan and Manuale Watkins.

The game will be available via radio on the Learfield Razorback Sports Network with Chuck Barrett and Matt Zimmerman. Listeners can also access the game via Sirius/XM on channel 81.
