The long-awaited 2023-24 non-conference schedule for head coach Eric Musselman’s Arkansas basketball team was officially released Thursday morning.
Arkansas’ schedule features eight non-conference games at Bud Walton Arena, a trip to the Bahamas for the Battle 4 Atlantis, a neutral-site meeting in Tulsa against Oklahoma and one game at Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock.
Highlighting the slate is a matchup with Duke on Wednesday, Nov. 29. The Razorbacks are 2-2 all-time against the Blue Devils with the last meeting coming in the Elite Eight in 2022 when Duke beat the Razorbacks 78-69. Arkansas’ last win against Duke was a 76-72 victory in the 1994 national championship.
With nine newcomers, including two freshmen and seven transfers, the expectations will be high for the Razorbacks following a Sweet Sixteen departure last season.
