How to Watch, BetSaracen odds: 2-seed Arkansas vs. 3-seed Missouri State (Lawrence Regional)

by: Daniel Fair05/29/26hawgbeat

The NCAA Tournament is here, and the 2-seed Arkansas Razorbacks (39-20) are in Lawrence, Kansas, where they will face the 3-seed Missouri State Bears (34-19) at Hoglund Park of the host seed Kansas Jayhawks on Friday evening.

Friday’s contest will be the third time the Hogs and Bears have faced off this season. Missouri State won an extra-inning slugfest on March 31, 15-14, but Arkansas got revenge on April 21 with a 12-4 win at Baum-Walker Stadium.

Arkansas will trot out Gabe Gaeckle as the starting pitcher. He’s coming off his best outing of the season in the SEC Tournament, where he threw six scoreless innings against Texas and allowed just three hits with nine strikeouts to just one walk.

HawgBeat has you covered with how to watch and listen to Friday’s game, plus all of the odds from BetSaracen.
