Arkansas basketball’s annual game at North Little Rock’s Simmons Bank Arena is this Saturday against Bradley.
Here’s where one would normally find a link to buy tickets but the game is already a sellout, so if you don’t have tickets you’re going to need to know a guy pr be prepared to spend a small fortune on the secondary market.
The game will start at 3 p.m. and Arkansas enters the game ranked No. 10 in The Associated Press poll and most recently beat Oklahoma in a game played at Tulsa.
The Hogs are 9-1 on the season, while Bradley, in the Missouri Valley Conference is 7-3, and with losses to Auburn, Liberty and Utah State.
The team has no Arkansans, or former Razorbacks on its roster, and is coached by Bruan Wardle, who starred at Marquette and played professionally before going into coaching.
Arkansas is led by Nick Smith Jr., the North Little Rock grad, who was the SEC’s co-Freshman of the Week, after averaging 21 points a game in the last two games, both wins.
Smith was a McDonald’s All-American last season as North Little Rock cruised to yet another state title. He’s expected to be a top 3 pick in next spring’s NBA draft, so unless there’s an exhibition game, which is a pretty good maybe, this will be both the first and last time Smith will play at North Little Rock’s downtown arena.
Devo Davis joins Smith in the backcourt and graduated from Jacksonville High School.
Arkansas has traditionally had some troubles playing in North Little Rock, as the Hogs lost to Hofstra last year and the likes of Mercer in seasons past.
This team, despite its relative youth, seem primed for a deep trip into the postseason, much like the last two seasons when the Hogs went to the Elite 8 in back-to-back years.
