Calipari: Arkansas basketball to play Michigan State, Texas Tech next season

FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas men’s basketball team will play Texas Tech in Dallas and begin a home-and-home series with Michigan State at Breslin Center in East Lansing, Mich., coach John Calipari announced at a leadership event Thursday at Crystal Bridges.

The Razorbacks and Red Raiders played each other at the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in San Francisco last season. Texas Tech won 85-83 in overtime.

Game dates have not been announced. There will be a return date with the Spartans during the 2026-27 season, Calipari said.

It will be the Razorbacks’ first home-and-home series since completing a 2-for-1 contract with Western Kentucky during the 2019-20 season.
