The University of Arkansas at Little Rock, which has won five consecutive games, was home with a 2 p.m. tipoff, and the University of Arkansas opened SEC play against Texas A&M in Bud Walton Arena at 6:30 p.m.
The Aggies are coached by Buzz Williams who was thought to be a candidate for the UA job, but he had what was then a huge buyout at Marquette, and the Razorbacks settled for John Pelphrey.
Williams landed at Virginia Tech, and then the Texas native got a chance to come home to the Aggies where he coached under Billy Gillespie from 2004-2006.
