On Tuesday, all eyes will be on Fayetteville’s Bud Walton Arena.
No. 1 Auburn, who has the nation’s longest winning streak at 19 games, travels to Arkansas, which has won eight straight games of their own, for a highly-anticipated showdown between the Southeastern Conference’s top teams.
The administration at the University of Arkansas is selling the hype, and Razorback fans and students are buying it.
In an effort to get fans and students to Bud Walton early enough to make the arena a tough environment even before the game, Head Coach Eric Musselman and Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek, are providing a “permission slip” to leave work/class early:

To take it a step further, “The Trough”, Arkansas’ student section, has declared Tuesday’s game a “white out”, calling for all fans in attendance to unite and wear white to the game.
Ok y'all the students @RazorbackTrough have declared Tuesday's dress code: WHITE OUT
All fans are encouraged to do the same, so start planning your outfit now! pic.twitter.com/svSXoeMI30
