FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ basketball team traveled a day earlier than usual for Thursday night’s game at South Carolina.

The Razorbacks flew to Columbia, S.C., on Tuesday after practice to stay ahead of the snow and ice forecast for today in Northwest Arkansas.

Arkansas was about four hours late arriving in Lexington, Ky., last Friday night for its game at Kentucky on Saturday because of winter weather.

“The last trip we waited around, and there was a small window of getting out and we barely got out of here,” Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said. “We got into Lexington really late.

“Mother Nature sometimes makes you change your plans.”
