Arkansas basketball is headed into the 2023-24 season with one of the deepest, most experienced rosters in the country – and arguably the best, top-to-bottom, that head coach Eric Musselman has ever had.
Most rankings have listed the Razorbacks in the 12-18 range to start the season, which is fair considering eight of the 13 scholarship players are brand new to the Arkansas basketball program regardless of their previous track record.
Most of those outlets, though, likely wouldn’t have predicted the final outcome of Saturday’s charity exhibition between No. 14 Arkansas and No. 3 Purdue in front of a sold-out Bud Walton Arena crowd.
