Diamond Hogs, Rebels alter season schedule

Arkansas and Ole Miss are moving their set to a Thursday-Saturday to make room for TV.

Arkansaas and Ole Miss are switching things up this spring.

The Diamond Hogs and Rebels moved their three-game series in April from Friday-Sunday to Thursday-Saturday. The new dates are April 4-6 and the games will be played, still, at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.

That series will mark the third straight Thursday-Saturday series for Arkansas in SEC play. The Diamond Hogs will be coming off consecutive weekends against at Auburn and home against LSU that went the same way. Arkansas opens conference play against Missouri on from March 15-17.

Arkansas’ regular season begins with a four-game set against James Madison in Fayetteville starting February 16.

Ole Miss is coming off its worst season in decades. The Rebels went 25-29 last year with a 6-24 record in SEC play.
