Arkansas gets rematch with Baylor in this year’s Big 12/SEC Challenge

Arkansas basketball will be looking to get above .500 in the annual challenge.

Arkansas will get a shot at redemption.

The Razorbacks are scheduled to play Baylor, the team that knocked them out of the Elite Eight in the 2020-21 season, as part of the 2022-23 Big 12/SEC Challenge.

It’s one of 10 games on the slate for the challenge in late January. Last year, Arkansas beat West Virginia at Bud Walton Arena, 77-68, as part of the yearly head-to-head between the leagues.

The meeting between the Razorbacks and Bears will be the 145th in the series. Baylor is Arkansas’ fourth most common opponent dating back to their days in the Southwest Conference. The only teams Arkansas has played more are Texas A&M, Texas and Southern Methodist.

Tip for the upcoming season’s game is January 28 in Waco, Texas. Tip time is to-be-determined and the game will air on either ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.

The Hogs are 4-4 all-time in the Big/SEC Challenge. Here’s how history stacks up for them as they seek to get over .500 in the matchup.

Other matchups include Kansas at Kentucky; Texas at Tennessee; TCU at Mississippi State; Alabama at Oklahoma; Auburn at West Virginia; Ole Miss at Oklahoma State; Florida at Kansas State; Iowa State at Missouri; and Texas Tech at LSU.
