Arkansas vs. Lipscomb: How to watch, listen, key players, metrics and more
After a week off to rest and regroup following their loss to No. 19 Oklahoma last Saturday, Arkansas basketball heads to North Little Rock’s Simmons Bank Arena to face off against Lipscomb.
The annual trip to central Arkansas hasn’t always been kind to Eric Musselman’s squad, but a sold-out crowd is expected to be on hand for Saturday evening’s contest. Also, for the first time since 2014, the annual North Little Rock game is going to be streamed live for fans to watch. Previously, Simmons Bank Arena didn’t have the technological capability to do so.
Another interesting wrinkle added to this matchup is that the Hogs will have a fresh face suiting up for the first time this season. Keyon Menifield Jr., a 6-1, 150-pound guard who transferred from Washington earlier in the year, was granted a waiver for immediate eligibility for the rest of this season on Friday afternoon. That means he’ll be available to make his Arkansas debut against Lipscomb on Saturday.
It’s a significant development for the Razorbacks, who are in need of some consistency from the point guard position. We’ll see if Menifield being added to the fold is the change that this team needs.
Here’s how you can catch all of Saturday’s action, key players to watch and much more.
