FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has finalized its 2018-19 basketball schedule.
The Razorbacks will host Florida International on Dec. 1 and Georgia Tech on Dec. 19, according to Arkansas' schedule that was released Thursday. The other 29 regular-season games had been previously reported.
The game against Georgia Tech gives Arkansas four games against Power 5 opponents in the coming season. The Razorbacks also are scheduled to play Texas in the season opener Nov. 9 in El Paso, Texas; Indiana at home on Nov. 18; and at Texas Tech on Jan. 26 as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
Arkansas last played Georgia Tech in November 2015, an 83-73 Yellow Jackets win at the NIT Tip-Off in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Razorbacks trail the all-time series 1-4.
Georgia Tech was 13-19 overall and 6-12 in the ACC last season. The Yellow Jackets are coached by Josh Pastner, who while coach at Memphis from 2009-16 would not schedule Arkansas or other regional teams to protect the Tigers' recruiting interests in the city.
Arkansas never played Florida International. The Panthers were 14-18 overall and 8-10 in Conference USA last season.
The Razorbacks have also scheduled an Oct. 26 exhibition game against Tusculum, but a Nov. 2 exhibition opponent remains unfilled. Arkansas will play its Red-White Game on Oct. 19.
