DENTON — The reigning Conference USA champion North Texas men's basketball team will face Arkansas in an exhibition game in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Oct. 30.
Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. CT.
The back-to-back defending league champ Mean Green who upset Purdue in the 2021 NCAA Tournament will face a Razorback squad at Bud Walton Arena that is fresh off an NCAA Elite 8 finish last season.
Per NCAA regulations, schools can play an exhibition if the game has a charitable component. A portion of the proceeds from concessions and merchandise sales for the game against Arkansas will go to benefit COVID relief efforts in the state of Arkansas via the United Way of NWA through the Arkansas 211 program. Arkansas 211 has provided an essential response to Arkansans across the state since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
