FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas women’s basketball Southeastern Conference opener at Ole Miss scheduled for Thursday has been postponed due to a combination of a positive covid-19 test, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Ole Miss program.

But Arkansas coach Mike Neighbors said that doesn’t mean the Razorbacks won’t have a game on Thursday. He was able to arrange a game against 11-time national champion Connecticut last year on the fly and he’s working at it again.
