FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas women’s basketball coach Mike Neighbors starts every practice by reminding his team where it has been, where it is and where it is going.
Where the Razorbacks have been is bleak. Arkansas has not finished above .500 in conference play since the 2011-12 season.
Where they are is hopeful.
“We are better than we were this time last year,” Neighbors said. “Every single roster spot is better than this time last year.”
Where they’re going? That question caused Neighbors to smile.
“I think the expectations are higher than they’ve been in our locker room for a while,” Neighbors said.
