Hogs, Longhorns to meet Dec. 17
Arkansas will renew its rivalry with Texas in men's basketball next season.
The Razorbacks and Longhorns will square off Dec. 17 at the Toyota Center in Houston, according to a CBSSports.com report. It will be part of a doubleheader with Arizona and Texas A&M.
The last time Arkansas and Texas met was in 2011, when the No. 12 Longhorns won 79-46 in Austin, Texas.
Arkansas leads the all-time series 85-67, but Texas has won three of the four games since the Razorbacks left the Southwest Conference.
