FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas women’s basketball Coach Mike Neighbors believes his team might be even faster than it was a year ago, and that’s saying something in his system that stresses a lightning-quick pace.
The Razorbacks return four starters from a team that was ranked among the top five in the country in scoring offense, averaging more than 80 points per game a year ago. They finished 24-8 and were likely headed for their first NCAA Tournament bid since 2015 before the coronavirus pandemic ended the season prematurely.
Neighbors, who begins his fourth season at Arkansas, said that veteran presence is a big reason why his offense might be even better this year.
