MEN'S BASKETBALL
Red-White game in Barnhill
The University of Arkansas men's basketball team will play its Red-White intrasquad game at 3 p.m. on Oct. 5 -- when the Razorbacks football team has an open date -- at Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville.
Eric Musselman, beginning his first season as Arkansas' coach, announced the game will be at Barnhill Arena -- where the Razorbacks last played games during the 1992-93 season before Walton Arena opened -- on his Twitter account Wednesday.
"Basketball is coming back to Barnhill Arena," Musselman said in a video clip. "See you there."
Musselman's tweet said the teams will be Team Eddie vs. Team Nolan in honor of former Arkansas coaches Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson.
Admission for the Red-White game is free, and seating will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
