Arkansas secures fourth straight Saturday sellout
Arkansas’ matchup with Ole Miss in Bud Walton Arena on Saturday is officially sold out.
The Hogs have now sold out four straight Saturday home games, according to a press release from the University of Arkansas. Arkansas is undefeated in the previous three sellouts with victories over Minnesota, Tennessee and Missouri.
A capacity crowd will be a welcome sight for Arkansas, which will be coming off a tough road environment at Florida on Wednesday, so the Hogs need to take care of business at home.
Since the hiring of head coach Mike Anderson, the Razorbacks are 104-16 in Bud Walton and are one of only four teams in the nation with 95-plus wins and 15 or fewer losses at home over the past six years. Arkansas is 9-1 inside Bud Walton this season with an average scoring margin of plus-18.2 points.
The Razorbacks have ranked in the top 12 in the nation in home attendance for three straight seasons. Last season, they finished second in the SEC with an average of 15,247 fans per home contest.
Bud Walton Arena will host seven more regular season games, including Arkansas’ Big 12/SEC Challenge matchup with Oklahoma State on Saturday, January 27.
Kentucky comes to town for a Super Tuesday showdown on February 20th. A sellout that day would be the Razorbacks’ seventh total and first mid-week sellout of the season. Per the press release, fewer than 50 tickets remain for that contest.
Arkansas (12-5, 2-3 SEC) takes on the Florida Gators (12-5, 4-1 SEC) tonight in Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. Tipoff is set for 6 pm (CST), and the game will be televised by ESPN2.
