The Huskies have had four previous nonconference matchups canceled this season due to COVID-19 protocols, including games against top-10 teams Louisville and Baylor. UConn plays its second nonconference game at No. 25 Tennessee on Thursday (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET).
Arkansas lost an upcoming SEC game when Vanderbilt opted Monday to end its season because of COVID-19 concerns.
This matchup gives UConn junior guard Christyn Williams an unexpected "homecoming" game, as she is from Little Rock, Arkansas.
The programs' only previous meeting was Nov. 14, 1998, when the Huskies beat the Razorbacks 100-64 in San Jose, California.
