FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas and North Texas are playing in the second basketball game of the season for the second year in a row with today’s matchup in Walton Arena.
Arkansas beat the Mean Green 66-43 last season with Isaiah Joe, Mason Jones, Jimmy Whitt and Adrio Bailey — who all are gone from the program — combining for 53 points. The only points scored by a Razorback still on the team were nine by Desi Sills.
North Texas Coach Grant McCasland, who was Arkansas State University’s coach during the 2016-17 season, said he’s impressed by how the Razorbacks have reloaded after watching them beat Mississippi Valley State 142-62 on Wednesday night.
