Basketball season will officially get underway today at Bud Walton Arena. The Arkansas women’s team takes on Sam Houston State Friday morning at 10:30 a.m., and the men take on Fort Wayne tonight at 7 p.m. Hoops!
Former solider, touring musician and local resident Baker McKinney will perform with his band, Gravedancer, at Artist Laboratory Theater Friday Night. The show is part of ALT’s Singled Out interview/performance series, and should be a good one. Here’s more info.
