A huge Holiday College Hoops TripleHeader is coming to CBS and Paramount+this year. The Arkansas Razorbacks from John Calipari will be announced on December 20 in the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, it was announced on December 20 on December 20 from Kelvin Sampson’s Houston Cougars.
The razorbacks and cougars will be in the Never Forget Tribute Classic, a long-existing basketball event that has collected millions of dollars for a variety of 9/11-connected charities. The game is played on the same day as the CBS Sports Classic in Atlanta; That Double Header will provide North Carolina vs. Ohio State and Kentucky vs. St. John’s. Tipping times for all December December 20 will be announced in the fall.
It should be a huge day for college hoops, and it will center around the three-pack high-profile matchups of CBS on the back of the non-Con calendar.
The non -conference schedule of the November and December of College Basketball is decorated with an abundance of great matchupsAnd with Arkansas-Houston we get another tilt between teams that are on their way to the season and are arranged when they tips five days before Christmas. The cougars, which lost in the national title game of Florida, are contrary to being no. 1.
Arkansas, in year 2 under Calipari, comes from a sweet 16 appearance and will compete for the top 15 status on the way to November. As the things are now, Houston no. 2 and Arkansas no. 20 in Gary Parrish’s Offseason top 25 and 1.
Back for the cougars: Point Guard Milos Uzan, shooting guard Emanuel Sharp and do-it-all defensive attacker Joseph Tugler. Arkansas brings back even more: Combo Guard DJ Wagner, small forward Karter Knox, Wing Billy Richmond and Stretch 4 Trevon Brazile are the recommended returners.
“The great thing about merging a schedule is that you have to plan teams that you will test,” Sampson told CBS Sports in a statement. “When you play one of John’s teams, you know that their fan base is going to travel. Prudential Center will be full with razorback fans. Arkansas is one of the great programs in the country, and John is a Hall of Fame coach. This is a great opportunity to test ourselves early against one of the best programs in the country.”
