This will be the third meeting in five years thanks to the SEC-Big 12 Challenge.

ª The last time the two programs met was on Jan. 27, 2018, in Bud Walton Arena as part of the SEC-Big 12 Challenge.

Daniel Gafford tipped in Anton Beard’s 8-footer with 15 seconds left to give the Hogs a 66-65 win against Cowboys.
