† 2017 SEC Tournament winner As of December 3, 2016; Rankings from AP Poll

The 2016–17 Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball team represents the University of Arkansas in the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team's head coach is Mike Anderson, who will be in his sixth season. The team will play their home games at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas, as a member of the SEC.

Previous season

Arkansas was unable to continue the momentum it had built in 2014-15, after finishing second to Kentucky in the SEC and winning a game in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in seven years. They lost Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis to the NBA and Michael Qualls also declared but wasn't drafted after sustaining a knee injury. Seniors Rashad Madden and Alandise Harris graduated, and Nick Babb elected to transfer to Iowa State.

In the offseason, returning players Jacorey Williams and Anton Beard, along with Colorado transfer Dustin Thomas, were involved in a counterfeiting scandal and Williams was later kicked off the team. Beard was suspended for the first semester and Thomas had to sit out the season anyway as part of NCAA transfer rules.^[1]

The team got off to a slow start and was .500 heading into SEC play, and then went 9-9 in the conference to finish 16-15 before losing to Florida in the SEC Tournament to finish 16-16 overall.
