Razorback women add game vs. UConn next week

FAYETTEVILLE — The No. 15 Arkansas women's basketball team has added a game against a top 10 opponent in Bud Walton Arena.

The Razorbacks are scheduled to play No. 3 Connecticut in Fayetteville on Jan. 28 at 4 p.m. on ESPN2. The UConn game replaces a game against Vanderbilt that was canceled when the Commodores canceled their season due to complications related to the covid-19 pandemic.

"We entered this season knowing cancellation of games could be a possibility, so we started early conversations with our friends in the game that had a similar desire to play the best competition possible with covid protocols in mind,” Arkansas coach Mike Neighbors said in a release.
