Hogs in Round Rock Classic

The University of Arkansas will play Indiana, Stanford and Louisiana-Lafayette as part of the 2022 Round Rock Classic, the management company for the event announced Tuesday.

The Razorbacks’ games will be played Feb. 25-27 at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas. The 11,631-seat ballpark is home to the Round Rock Express, the Texas Rangers’ Class AAA affiliate.

Arkansas is scheduled to play the late game each night at the event. The Razorbacks are scheduled to play Indiana on Feb. 25, Stanford on Feb. 26 and Louisiana-Lafayette on Feb. 27. All games will be streamed via pay-per-view on FloSports.com.

Three-day passes and single-game tickets are also on sale through the Round Rock Classic website.

Indiana, Stanford and Louisiana-Lafayette all had winning records in 2021, but only the Cardinal (39-17) played in the NCAA Tournament. They reached the College World Series.

Indiana went 26-18 against a schedule of only Big Ten opponents. Louisiana-Lafayette, a member of the Sun Belt Conference, had a 32-23 record against a schedule that included nonconference games.

Louisiana-Lafayette is coached by Matt Deggs, a former assistant under Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn from 2003-05 with the Razorbacks and 1996-97 at Northwestern (La.) State.

Arkansas has rarely played the three teams it will see in Round Rock, with 11 combined games against them. The Razorbacks last played Indiana in 1982, Louisiana-Lafayette in 1999 and Stanford in 2008.
