Arkansas women's basketball faces tough test in opener against preseason CUSA favorite Louisiana Tech

FAYETTEVILLE — Kelsi Musick will have a challenge right off the bat as she begins her first season as head coach of the Arkansas women’s basketball team Tuesday night.

The Razorbacks will open the 2025-26 season against Louisiana Tech, which was voted by Conference USA coaches as the league’s preseason favorite. Tipoff inside Bud Walton Arena is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

While facing a stout mid-major team in Musick’s debut could be viewed as less than ideal, the coach said she thinks it will be a good test for her team.

“Everyone's new, and everything's new right now for us,” Musick said.
