FAYETTEVILLE — When his Arkansas women’s basketball team was voted last in both the media and coaches SEC preseason poll, Mike Neighbors said he was determined to make certain it wouldn’t be where the Razorbacks finished.
Standing in front of a room full of reporters, the eighth-year Arkansas coach pointed out at the league’s media day in October that his teams have never finished where they were picked — “0-32 on that,” he said.
Nine games into the 16-game SEC schedule, the Razorbacks are in position to finish higher than the No. 16 spot voters pinned them at.
