FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas is counting on home-court advantage when it hosts No. 20 Michigan on Saturday.
The trip to Fayetteville is the first for the Wolverines (15-4) since 1981, and it's a step out of conference action for two teams looking to build their NCAA tournament resumes.
The Razorbacks (13-5) enter the game after a disappointing 86-63 loss at No. 2 Kentucky on Tuesday. They are 13-0 at home in Bud Walton Arena this season, including a 98-88 win over then-No. 15 Mississippi State on Jan. 7.
Michigan hasn't won a game on an opponent's home court this season, though it is coming off a 60-59 win over No. 9 Michigan State.
