The 15th-16th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks close out their three-game home stand hosting Northern Iowa on Wednesday.
“”They’re an NCAA Tournament-caliber team,” Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said. “They cut extremely hard, very well-coached. I hope we have a good crowd. We need a good crowd. We better bring our A-game because this is a very good and dangerous Northern Iowa team.”
There will be a shoe theme for the game, according to Musselman on social media this week:
Tomorrow nights shoe theme is the 2022 signing class officially joining the @RazorbackMBB family!
