ARKANSAS, USA — The Razorback men's basketball team was ranked #10 in AP preseason's poll as college basketball nears closer and closer.
This is the first time since the 1994-95 season that the Hogs are entering the season among the top 10 teams in the nation.
This comes as the Razorbacks began the season as the #16 ranked team in the country on last year's AP preseason poll.
We've already seen a glimpse of the team's potential, with McDonald's All-Americans Nick Smith Jr., Anthony Black, and Jordan Walsh all leading the Hogs to an undefeated European tour over the summer.
This season will be a tough one for the basketball team as they're set to face six different teams who appear in the AP preseason top 25 throughout the regular season.
But the Hogs, whose roster received national attention, namely during the McDonald's All-American game, have more than enough talent to be a contender this year.
Tip-off for the new era of Razorback basketball is set to happen on Monday, Nov. 7 as the Hogs take on North Dakota State at Bud Walton Arena at 7 p.m.
As for the rest of the schedule, Arkansas' SEC opponents have already been announced.
