Arkansas’ Turkey Day Tussle Confirmed on National TV Against Illinois
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas officially confirmed its Thanksgiving Day matchup against Illinois on Thanksgiving in Kansas City and broadcast nationally on CBS. It will be the second consecutive year that the Razorbacks will play Thanksgiving.
Both coaches are excited for the national time slot to showcase their programs on such a big stage.
“Playing in this time slot will provide tremendous exposure for both programs,” Arkansas coach John Calipari said. “Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center is a premier arena that is located close enough that both fan bases can attend. We have a great deal of respect for coach [Brad] Underwood and his Illinois program.”
A national audience will certainly be watching, with Arkansas and Illinois following the Bears and Lions game on CBS.
“It is an honor for Illinois Basketball to play on CBS on Thanksgiving Day,” Underwood said. “We know the sports world will be watching.”
Sibling rivalry will take over the game. Zvonimir and Tomislav Ivisic will be opposite sides of the court, with each brother playing their first season’s for their respective teams. Zvonimir transfers to the Razorbacks after transfering from Kentycky, while Tomislav will make his college basketball debut with Illinois.
The friendly banter has already begun, with Zvonimir leaving some fighting words for his brother in Croatian on Instagram.
“You won’t be laughing like that when [play against] you,” Zvonimir Ivisic said on his brother’s post on Instagram.
Tipoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. Nov. 28 from T-Mobile Arena in Kansas City. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
Note: The comment was initially written in Croatian and has been translated.

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.

We are proud to partner with the Corning Police Department in addressing these violations. We seized a substantial quantity of illegal products, including flower, vapes, edibles, and other items, during the operation. We appreciate the cooperation of local law enforcement and information received from the community that led to yesterday’s operation and stopped this blatant disregard of the law.”
