FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas will put its five-game winning streak on the line as the team embarks on its first true road game of the season. The Razorbacks will face Colorado State on Wednesday (Dec. 5) in Fort Collins, Colo., with tip-off set for 9 pm (CT)/8 pm (MT).

The Razorbacks and Rams met exactly one year ago (Dec. 5, 2017) in Bud Walton Arena, which is the only previous meeting between the two squads.

Arkansas got off to a slow start in that inaugural meeting, spotting the Rams 10 points, before the Razorbacks could figure out anything on the offensive end and cruise to a 92-66 win.

Daniel Gafford made an immediate impact coming off the bench in the win. The big man recorded a block on the defensive end, then scored seven of Arkansas’ next 10 points to assist in a 19-0 Razorback run.

This is the second meeting between Arkansas and Colorado State in basketball. Arkansas won the previous meeting 92-66 last Dec. 5 in Bud Walton Arena
This will be the second time an Arkansas team has traveled to Fort Collins this season. The Razorback football team played its second game of the season at Colorado State.
In the most recent NCAA stats, the Razorbacks rank 9th in blocked shots (6.2); 9th in FG% defense (.360); 9th in turnovers forced per game (18.8); 11th in assists per game (18.3); 15th in steals per game (9.2) and 21st in 3ptFG defense (.270).
