FAYETTEVILLE — When Arkansas' 2019-20 schedule was released, three nonconference games prior to the beginning of SEC play stood out above the rest.
Those were road trips to Georgia Tech, Western Kentucky and Indiana. Thanks to overtime heroics from Mason Jones, the Razorbacks secured their first road win of the Eric Musselman era against the Yellow Jackets on Nov. 25.
The Hilltoppers provide Arkansas' biggest challenge to date Saturday. Another win away from home over a quality opponent would be momentous for the Razorbacks as the calendar year draws to a close.
It would also be the earliest in a season Arkansas has won two true road games since the 1994-95 season, when former coach Nolan Richardson's eventual national runner-up team grabbed its second road victory at SMU on Dec.
