Fear not, weary Arkansas fans, basketball season is finally here. Well, sort of.

The 2025-26 Arkansas basketball team made its first public appearance of the season Friday night for the Primetime at the Palace event inside Bud Walton Arena. The Hoop Hogs were a sight for sore eyes, as Razorback fans filled up three-quarters of the lower bowl for the showcase — one baseline was blocked off for an elevated stage.

First-year Arkansas women’s basketball coach Kelsi Musick and her squad were introduced to the Arkansas faithful, and she delivered some brief remarks to the crowd, urging them to come support the women’s program as it begins a new era.
