Hunter Dickinson and No. 1 Kansas will take the court against No. 16 Arkansas and Johnell Davis in an exhibition.
The No. 1 ranked team in the country, Kansas, will head on the road in an exhibition game before the regular season starts in college basketball to take on Arkansas, the No. 16 ranked team in the country, at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Both of these teams are exciting preseason ranks. Kansas is the AP Poll and Coaches poll consensus No. 1 ranked team in the nation heading into the season. They are returning former Michigan big-man Hunter Dickinson and guard KJ Adams. They also added one of the best transfers and the best transfer class in the country led by AJ Storr from Wisconsin. Storr averaged 16.8 points and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 43.3% from the field last season in the Big Ten. They also brought in the Summit League Player of the Year Zeke Mayo, who is projected to crack the starting lineup for Bill Self. Rylan Griffen also came over from another top-five ranked team in Alabama to help Kansas. Dajuan Harris is projected to give the team bigger minutes this season in his senior year.

The biggest news of the Razorbacks offseason is the coaching acquisition of future Hall of Famer John Calipari. Calipari did not just bring his coaching prowess with him to Arkansas. Some of his former Kentucky stars Adou Thiero and D.J. Wagner also made the journey with him. Last season at Kentucky, Wagner averaged 9.9 points and 3.3 assists per game.
On top of Thiero, Arkansas also brought in Johnell Davis and Jonas Aidoo from the transfer portal. Aidoo was an All-SEC first-team member last season with Tennessee while Davis shot 41.3% from three at Florida Atlantic. Arkansas also had a pretty good freshman class to join the team projected to add much-needed depth.
