STUDENT-ATHLETE SUCCESS CENTER

There is no debate about the most influential newcomer to Razorback Athletics in 2015-16. Opened for the start of the academic year, the Jerry and Gene Jones Family Student-Athlete Success Center, was officially dedicated on September 19 with members of the Jones Family, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey and hundreds of Razorback student-athletes looking on. The 55,000 square-foot facility dedicated to the development of more than 460 Razorback student-athletes was made possible by a $10.65 million gift from the Jones family. The Jones Success Center addresses the academic, nutritional, personal and professional development of our student-athletes and creates an integrated academic support program focused on the graduation of all student-athletes at the University of Arkansas. The Student-Athlete Success Center is the home of the Bogle Academic Center and provides student-athletes with multiple learning environments including academic advising and course preparation, leadership training through the Razorback Leadership Academy and career planning and service learning. It also houses the Sports Nutrition Center, serving the fueling needs of student-athletes competing in 19 sports.

BASKETBALL PERFORMANCE CENTER

The 66,000 square-foot Basketball Performance Center opened in the fall of 2015 and is the home of the Razorback Basketball program.

The facility includes two full-court gymnasiums, locker rooms, a weight room, an athletic training room, coaches’ offices, team meeting rooms, a student-athlete lounge, study areas and an equipment room.

The largest components of the facility are two identical practice gyms, which are approximately 12,280 square feet each. Each gym has six wall mounted goals and two portable goals that are identical to the goals used in Bud Walton Arena.

A state-of-the-art video coaching system is available in each gym with a large format video display for the team’s use in reviewing video footage recorded during practice through the remotely operated cameras mounted on the ceiling.

The Performance Center’s training room is approximately 1,720 square feet and contains a large treadmill treatment pool, cold plunge pool, hot plunge pool and a dual extremity pool.

The weight room is 4,030 square feet with a dedicated plyometric training area, private massage rooms and strength coach offices.

This is one of the best facilities in the country

MIKE ANDERSON

BUD WALTON ARENA

• Arkansas is tied for the fourth-most home wins in the country during the Mike Anderson era, posting a record of 115-17 in Bud Walton Arena over the last seven years.

• The Razorbacks have ranked in the top 30 in national attendance in all 25 years playing in Bud Walton Arena, including 10th in 2017-18. It was pretty intimidating.

BILLY KENNEDY (TEXAS A&M)

You don’t come here expecting to win.

JOHN CALIPARI (KENTUCKY)

They’re going to play fast.

BILLY DONOVAN (OKC THUNDER)

In this building, they are going to beat a lot of people in here.
