Hog fans, get ready for the beginning of the Mike Anderson era.
Anderson officially took the reigns of the basketball program when he was hired in March. Razorback fans will get their first glimpse of his 2011-12 team at the season premiere event, “Primetime at the Palace” on Friday, Oct. 14 at Bud Walton Arena.
Rollin’ with Nolan!
The event, which is technically the first official practice of the season, will feature scrimmages by the Arkansas men’s and women’s basketball teams, a “hot shot” competition featuring both squads and a University of Arkansas student, and a dunk competition. Coaches Anderson, along with women’s coach Tom Collen will introduce their teams and offer comments on the upcoming season.
Arkansas is hoping to improve last year’s 18-13 season under former coach John Pelphrey. The Hogs return two of their top four scorers from a year ago, and have added a recruiting class ranked nationally in the top ten.
“Primetime at the Palace” begins at 7 p.m. It is free to attend, and open to the public.
