Arkansas men's basketball releases full non-conference schedule. Here's who the Hogs face

The non-conference opponents for Eric Musselman and the Arkansas men's basketball team are official.

The Razorbacks released the pre-SEC slate Thursday morning, with 13 games across the first two months before they dive into league play. Arkansas will enter the 2023-24 season with high expectations, and they'll be tested early in the campaign.
