The Arkansas women’s basketball team has played one of the tougher schedules in the country this season, but it just got a little more difficult.
The No. 15 Razorbacks (11-5) will host No. 3 Connecticut (8-0) on Jan. 28, the school released on Wednesday afternoon. The game will tip off at 4 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2.
Arkansas had its game against Vanderbilt, which was orginally scheduled for that date, cancelled after the Commodores decided to end its season on Monday because a combination of covid-19 issues, opt-outs and injuries.
It won’t be the Huskies’ first trip to Fayetteville. They defeated the Razorbacks 100-64 on Nov. 14, 1998 in their only other meeting. UConn was ranked third at the time, while Arkansas was No. 18.
