LITTLE ROCK - Since the mid-90s, Arkansas' basketball team has played nine of the 12 teams in the Southland Conference.

One of the remaining three is both convenient to Fayetteville and connected to the Razorbacks, but it is the one that is off limits.

Scheduling the University of Central Arkansas would open a door that is nailed shut. If the Razorbacks played the Bears, the three other Division I basketball teams in the state would be clamoring for next in line.
