There are plenty of reasons to look forward to the upcoming college basketball season if you happen to be an Arkansas Razorbacks fan. Even so, they still have some bad news.

The team was initially slated to meet with the Baylor Bears as a part of their non-conference schedule. Unfortunately, it seems like that will no longer be the case, according to coach John Calipari.

The Razorbacks and their fans were looking forward to getting back at the Bears’ 72-67 win from last season. The game took place in a neutral site in Dallas, and they were supposed to meet again in Fayetteville this season.

Arkansas won’t face Baylor this season

“I don’t think it will happen this year,” Calipari said, per 247 Sports. “When we filled out the schedule, we kind of moved on from that.”

Multiple reports state that this highly anticipated matchup will most likely have to be pushed to next season. Instead, the Razorbacks will square off with the likes of Louisville, Memphis, and Washington.

Even so, Razorbacks fans can still rest assured that they will have an absolutely bomb of a schedule with countless marquee matchups, and that should get them more than ready for when it counts.
