Arkansas and Indiana will reportedly begin a new home-and-home series starting with the 2018-19 season.

The Hoosiers will head to Fayetteville for the 2018 game between the two teams, which will be Indiana’s first-ever trip to Bud Walton Arena.

Arkansas will play in Bloomington for the first time since 1949 when it travels there in 2019.

The teams have played just twice before, as each have captured a victory in the overall series.

Their most recent meeting came in 2008, with Arkansas capturing a 86-72 win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Mike Anderson’s squad is coming off a 23-12 season, while Archie Miller led Indiana to a 16-15 record in his first year at the school.
