FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas basketball returns to the hardwood of Bud Walton Arena tonight with an intriguing matchup against a mid-major foe.
The No. 21 Razorbacks (1-1) will host Troy on Wednesday in the third regular-season game of the John Calipari era. Arkansas is coming off a win over Lipscomb and a neutral-site loss to Baylor during its first week of the new campaign.
The Trojans are 2-0 with double-digit victories over Toledo and New Orleans. Troy went 20-12 last year and finished third in a competitive Sun Belt Conference, only to lose in the first round of its league tournament, but most of the players from last year’s squad are back for the Trojans this winter.
The Hogs will hope to get their offense going Wednesday night. Through the first two games of the season, Arkansas is shooting just 23.1% on 3-pointers and averaging 71.5 points per contest.

Arkansas vs. Troy prediction
Arkansas 77, Troy 62: The Hogs will move to 2-1, but don’t be surprised if this game follows a similar script to last week’s victory over Lipscomb. The Bisons hung around and made things uneasy midway through the second half. Troy has an experienced team that plays tough defense. Still, the Razorbacks will have too much firepower and come away with the victory.
