Game Notes: UC Davis  |  Arkansas  |  Big West
 
DAVIS, Calif. – Iron sharpens iron. Is it this ideal that is the foundation for the most challenging non-conference schedule in UC Davis basketball's history. 
 
Facing the toughest available competition is what everyone on roster wanted this season to best prepare themselves for the Big West Conference Tournament; to help accomplish this goal, the players wanted to face as many Power Five teams as possible. 
 
The first of four such games will take place on Monday, Nov. 12, when the Aggies head to Fayetteville, Ark., to face the Arkansas Razorbacks for the first time in nearly a decade.
 
UC Davis last faced the Razorbacks on Nov. 20, 2008, in a game that also took place on their home court. 
 
After falling to Texas on Friday in its season opener, Arkansas will host the Aggies in its 2018-19 home opener. 
 
UC Davis basketball fans can follow the action from Bud Walton Arena on the SEC+ Network, which is available on WatchESPN.com. Brett Dolan and Kikko Hayday will call the action courtside for this internet broadcast.
 
Scott Marsh will also provide a call of the Aggies' inaugural road game of the year on 1380 AM KTKZ.
 
This is the first game of a season-long five-game road swing for UC Davis, one that will continue this weekend in Arlington, Texas, when it faces Texas A&M Corpus Christi and UT Arlington this Saturday and Sunday in a neutral-site and road matchups, respectively. 
 
Following this weekend's games, the team will experience a quick turnaround since it will head to the Golden 1 Center on Nov. 20 (just over two days after everyone returns from Texas) to face cross-Causeway rival Sacramento State in this year's rivalry game.
 
Following that yearly tradition at the downtown state-of-the-art home of the Sacramento Kings, UC Davis will spend Thanksgiving together before facing Indiana, for the first time in program history, the following day.
