COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The University of Arkansas basketball team's game at Texas A&M today marks the fourth time in seven seasons the Razorbacks are opening SEC play against the Aggies in Reed Arena.
"It seems like it's the annual open up," Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said. "We voiced a little concern [to the SEC office] about it last year, and here we are again. But it's conference time, and we play them home-and-home."
The Aggies play at Arkansas on Feb. 23.
"Everything magnifies now," Anderson said of the SEC race. "So it's the first game on our schedule.
