FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas renews a rivalry with one of its oldest opponents when TCU comes to Bud Walton Arena on Jan. 25 as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge, ESPN and the SEC announced today.

The Arkansas and TCU rivalry dates back to the Razorbacks’ first season of basketball, 1923-24.

The Horned Frogs are the fourth-most common opponent for Arkansas with 142 previous games played in the series, trailing only Texas A&M (159. Arkansas leads series 103-56), Texas (155; Arkansas leads 87-68) and SMU (154; Arkansas leads 96-58).

They have not met since 1991, the Razorbacks’ final season as members of the Southwest Conference.

Arkansas owns a 104-38 advantage in the series versus TCU, including a 54-15 mark in games played in Fayetteville.

Arkansas was able to take a large lead in the series thanks to a 25-game win streak spanning from the 1972-73 season until 1982-83. After the streak was snapped, Arkansas won nine of the final 16 games — including two straight wins — to close out the rivalry in 1991.

Arkansas will be playing in its sixth straight Big 12/SEC Challenge.

The Razorbacks are 2-3 in the annual event, defeating Texas Tech (2015-16) and Oklahoma State (2017-18) at home with road losses to Iowa State (2014-15), Oklahoma State (2017-18) and Texas Tech (2018-19).
