Arkansas women on a high as Mississippi State comes to town

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas women’s basketball Coach Mike Neighbors said he talked to his team earlier this past week about playing noticeably faster.

Mission accomplished in the Razorbacks’s 99-71 win at Alabama on Thursday evening.

Neighbors didn’t need to say much either.

“I don’t honestly think I said five words the entire game,” Neighbors said Thursday. “… So every timeout I said, ‘It’s noticeable. It’s noticeable.’”

Arkansas (11-6, 2-3 SEC) will try keep that momentum going against Mississippi State this afternoon in Walton Arena. Tip-off time is scheduled for 3 p.m. on SEC Network.
