FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas men's basketball team will play a road game at Baylor for the first time since the Razorbacks were in the Southwest Conference.
Arkansas will play Baylor on Jan. 28 in Waco, Texas, in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge, it was announced Thursday.
It will be the fourth time the teams have met since the Razorbacks left the SWC after the 1990-91 season.
The Razorbacks and Bears most recently played in the 2021 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight in Indianapolis when Baylor won 81-72 en route to winning the national championship.
Junior guard Davonte Davis is the only player remaining on Arkansas' roster who played against Baylor in 2021 when he had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 32 minutes in the matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.
No tipoff time or network television designations have been announced for the 10 SEC/Big 12 Challenge games, but they all will be shown on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.
Arkansas will be looking to get its first road victory in the Challenge. The Razorbacks are 4-4 in previous games and are undefeated at home and winless on the road.
