FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas’ women’s basketball team will begin the 2020-21 season firmly in the top 25.
The Razorbacks came in at No. 14 in the Associated Press preseason top 25 that was released Tuesday. It is the first time since the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons that Arkansas has been included in the preseason poll in back-to-back years.
Other ranked SEC teams include No. 1 South Carolina, No. 6 Mississippi State, No. 11 Kentucky and No. 13 Texas A&M. Arkansas canceled a nonconference game against Gonzaga, which is ranked No. 21.
Expectations are high for the Razorbacks entering coach Mike Neighbors’ fourth season.
