CHICAGO -- The No. 22 University of Arkansas men's basketball team will have a second crack with a ranked team at 7 p.m. Central on Thursday against No. 4 Duke at the United Center.

The only blemish for the Razorbacks (5-1) is a 69-66 loss at No. 11 Michigan State on Nov. 8. The Hogs missed three potential game-tying three-pointers in the final 27 seconds at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, Mich.

"We know how big this game is," Arkansas forward Trevon Brazile said Tuesday. "We know it's going to be a tough game. They're a really good team. Our mindset is just being razor-sharp, locked-in, just focusing on these practices leading up and then going out there and playing."

Duke (7-0) hasn't played to a score that close. The Blue Devils' closest -- and best -- win thi season came Nov. 18
