Big 12/SEC Women’s Basketball Challenge Schedule And Ticket Information

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Head coach Jimmy Dykes and the University of Arkansas women’s basketball program makes its second appearance in a conference challenge game between the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12 this year.

This season, the four-team event moves from North Little Rock, Arkansas, to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in advance of the Big 12 Tournament this spring. The Razorbacks take on Texas while Texas A&M faces Arkansas’ 2014 opponent Oklahoma.

The two-game women’s basketball event will be held on Sunday, December 20, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, site of the 2016-19 Phillips 66 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Championship.
