Previous season

After a 38–16 regular-season campaign in 2023, the Razorbacks fell in their first game of the SEC tournament, which was hosted at Bogle Park, to Alabama by a one-run margin. [4] Arkansas was selected to host an NCAA regional for the third consecutive season as the No. 11 national seed. [5] They were paired with Oregon, Notre Dame, and Harvard; [6] After a defeat of Harvard, [7] the Razorbacks fell to Oregon, putting them in the consolation bracket. [8] A win to eliminate Notre Dame put them in the regional final, needing two wins against Oregon to advance to the super regional, [9] but a nine-run defeat to the Ducks ended Arkansas' season. [10] The team finished with a record of 40–19. [11]
