Arkansas women’s basketball will face the Cameron Aggies in an exhibition at Bud Walton Arena on Thursday, October 29 at 6:30 p.m. to unofficially start the 2026-27 season, arkansasrazorbacks.com reported.
A Personal Homecoming on the Sidelines
The matchup carries a personal connection for the Razorbacks, as Cameron is the alma mater of Arkansas head coach Kelsi Musick. Located in Lawton, Oklahoma, the university inducted Musick into its Hall of Honor in February 2025 following a standout playing career where she set school records for career three-point shooting percentage and assists. During her senior season, she helped lead the Aggies to a program-record 25 wins and their first-ever appearance in the Division II NCAA Tournament.
Musick Begins Second Year Against New Orleans
Thursday’s exhibition will not be broadcast on television or radio, though live stats will be accessible through arkansas.statbroadcast.com. Fans interested in attending can purchase tickets directly through ArkansasRazorbacks.com. Following the exhibition, Musick will officially begin her second year on Monday, November 2, against New Orleans with tipoff set for 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network+.
Resetting After a Tough Debut Campaign
Entering her second year at the helm, Musick looks to turn the page on an inaugural 12-20 campaign that included a 1-15 mark in SEC play and a first-round exit against Kentucky in the SEC Tournament. To reshape the roster, the program added 12 new players, consisting of seven transfers and five incoming freshmen.

The incoming transfer class features Ayianna Johnson from Colorado-Colorado Springs, Grace McCallop from Cal, Jianna Morris from Louisiana Tech, Kateri Poole from Houston, D’Asia Thomas-Harris from Georgia Tech, Daniah Trammell from Arizona, and Beautiful Waheed from St. John’s. Meanwhile, the freshman arrivals include Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year Kyiah Prestridge, top-ranked player in Arkansas Whitley Rogers, state native Allannah Orsby, and European additions Julija Matic and Adriana Reijnen.
Razorbacks Face Tulsa and TCU in Road Scrimmages
Preparation for the new campaign included a pair of road scrimmages over the last two weekends. The Razorbacks defeated Tulsa 106-89 before falling 90-82 in overtime to a preseason No. 15 TCU squad. Fans wanting to follow the team’s progress can monitor updates via @RazorbackWBB on social media.
