The No. 14 Arkansas Razorbacks are back in action on Friday evening for their second game of the regular season. After making easy work of Alcorn State in Monday’s season opener, the Hogs will face the Big South Conference’s Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs.
Friday night will be just the third all-time meeting between these two teams – Arkansas won the previous two meetings. Their most recent meeting took place just two seasons ago, in 2021, when the Razorbacks defeated the Runnin’ Bulldogs 86-69. The only remaining Hog from that 2021 team is [autotag]Devo Davis[/autotag], who recorded 10 points, six assists and three rebounds in the win.
For the only other game in this series, you have to go way back to 2004 when [autotag]Ronnie Brewer[/autotag]-led Arkansas beat the Runnin’ Bulldogs 79-63 in Bud Walton Arena.
This shouldn’t be the closest or most competitive game ever, but Gardner-Webb has a very experienced club who could provide the Hogs with a challenge. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Friday night’s game including broadcast information, projected lineups, players to watch and more.
