FAYETTEVILLE — Missouri State can't wait for its rematch against Arkansas.
In fact, the Bears are counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the team that ended their season last year comes to Hammons Field in Springfield, Missouri.
The Razorbacks make the two-and-a-half-hour trip north for a midweek game against Missouri State on May 3.
It will be a rematch of last season's Fayetteville Super Regional, in which Arkansas won two out of three games to advance to the College World Series.
Despite the Bears playing 12 other home games between now and then, their official athletics website, MissouriStateBears.com, features a countdown clock ticking away the seconds until the Arkansas game.
That stretch includes a three-game series against Minnesota from the Big Ten and midweek games against Kansas from the Big 12 and Missouri from the SEC.
Missouri State will make a return trip to Fayetteville on May 17.
UPDATE (March 28): After losing two of three against Minnesota over the weekend, Missouri State has replaced the Arkansas countdown clock with one for its alumni night on April 12.
