FAYETTEVILLE — While a trip to No. 22 Michigan State is less than a week away for the No. 14 Arkansas men’s basketball team, the Razorbacks will start the season at 6 p.m. Monday against Southern at Walton Arena.

“We’re taking this just as seriously as any other game,” forward Nick Pringle said. “They won their league last year. They’re supposed to win this year. Every win is going to count for us this year. That’s the type of team that will shock a lot of people at the end of the year.”

Arkansas is coming off a pair of exhibition wins: 89-61 against Cincinnati at home Oct.
