FAYETTEVILLE -- The University Arkansas men's basketball team will play Memphis in a preseason exhibition Oct. 28 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, according to the CBS Sports Eye on College Basketball Podcast.

It will be a homecoming of sorts for second-year Arkansas Coach John Calipari, who coached the Tigers from 2000-09 and reached the 2008 national championship game. Every player who played for Calipari at Memphis has been invited back for the game.

The game will be used to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.

Arkansas and Memphis have played in 22 official games, splitting the all-time series 11-11. The Razorbacks lost the most recent meeting against the Tigers, falling 84-79 on Nov. 23, 2023, at the Battle 4 Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
