FAYETTEVILLE - Arkansas women's basketball has released its nonconference schedule.

The Razorbacks are scheduled to play nine of their 12 nonconference games at Bud Walton Arena. Arkansas is scheduled to open the season Nov. 11 with a morning game against Sam Houston State in which local elementary school students will be admitted for free.

Some notables:

— The season opener is part of a doubleheader at Bud Walton Arena. Arkansas' men open their season that night with a game against Fort Wayne.

— The Razorbacks will play Texas Tech as part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. It is the third consecutive year Arkansas has been invited to play in the event, having also competed in four-team events in North Little Rock two years ago and Oklahoma City last year.

— Butler comes to Fayetteville after the Razorbacks traveled to Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis last year.

— Arkansas will play in a Thanksgiving weekend event for the fifth consecutive year when they travel to Reno, Nev., for the Nugget Classic. Past Thanksgiving trips have been to Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, N.M., and Honolulu.
