The 2024–25 Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball team will represent the University of Arkansas during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team will be led by first year head coach John Calipari, who accepted the job after he resigned from his position at Kentucky after 15 years.[1] Arkansas will play its home games at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas as a member of the Southeastern Conference.
Arkansas finished the season 16–17, 6–12 in SEC play to finish in a tie for 11th place. As the No. 12 seed in the SEC tournament, they defeated Vanderbilt before losing to South Carolina in the second round. This was Arkansas' first losing season since 2009-10.
Following the completion of the season, head coach Eric Musselman took the vacant USC Trojans job,[2] which Andy Enfield had left to become the head coach of the SMU Mustangs.
Nearly all of Arkansas' 2023-24 roster either entered the transfer portal or graduated after the season was over and Musselman departed for USC. Trevon Brazile elected to return to the team after testing his NBA draft status.
