Basketball opens with exhibition game at 2 p.m. Saturday

FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas women’s basketball team hosts its only exhibition game of the 2006-07 season on Saturday against Missouri Southern at 2 p.m. at Bud Walton Arena.

As a reminder to fans, the game is starting at 2 p.m., rather than 7 p.m. as the original schedule listed. The game was changed last Monday to 2 p.m. when the Razorback football game was moved to a 6:45 p.m. start on ESPN.

The Lady Razorbacks defeated Missouri Southern last year in one of two exhibition games, but thanks to changes in the NCAA scheduling rules Arkansas will host a single exhibition as the start of the regular season moves up a week.

Head coach Susie Gardner declared her starting lineup for Saturday’s game after practice on Friday, and full notes are available by clicking on the PDF link associated with this page.
