It’s almost time for the Kelsi Musick era of Arkansas women’s basketball to get underway inside Bud Walton Arena.
The Razorbacks are scheduled to face Arkansas-Fort Smith in an exhibition, marking their first game under Musick. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
Musick was hired in March after three seasons at Oral Roberts. While with the Golden Eagles, Musick compiled a 57-39 (31-19 Summit League) record. The program's growth was evident with back-to-back seasons of at least 20 victories, and her 2024-25 team upset both Arkansas and Missouri in nonconference play.
“I believe we have found a hidden gem and a rising star,” Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek said during her introductory press conference.
