Baylor vs. Arkansas Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

Two teams ranked in the preseason AP Poll for Men's College Basketball - the No. 8 Baylor Bears and No. 16 Arkansas Razorbacks - face off over the first weekend of the 2024/25 season.

Baylor played arguably the toughest opening game of any ranked team, as they visited the No. 6 Gonzaga Bulldogs and lost 101-63. After the Arkansas game, their schedule gets easier for the rest of the month until a game against defending champion No. 3 UConn in early December.

The Razorbacks, in their first season under head coach John Calipari, had an easier time as they beat Lipscomb 76-60. This is their first game against a team ranked in the preseason poll, and they won't play another such game until January.
