FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas women’s basketball team faces a familiar foe traveling to No. 19 Texas A&M in the Southeastern Conference regular season finale in College Station, Texas, on Sunday.
Arkansas (17-12, 6-9 SEC) takes on former Southwest Conference opponent Texas A&M (22-6, 11-4 SEC) while head coach Mike Neighbors faces a mentor and former boss in Aggie head coach Gary Blair.

Sophomore Chelsea Dungee has been a game-changer for the Razorbacks in her first season on The Hill. Dungee leads Arkansas averaging 19.6 points per game and can seemingly score at will. Dungee is having an All-SEC season having scored in double figures in 26 of 29 games. She has been above the 20-point plateau 15 times, scored 30 or more points three times and 41 points once this year. Dungee has scored in double figures in nine consecutive games with 20 or more points in seven of the last nine contests.
But Dungee is not the only weapon for the Razorbacks. Senior Malica Monk also averages double figures and Alexis Tolefree is just shy of 10 points a game this year. Arkansas is also getting solid minutes from seniors Bailey Zimmerman and Raven Northcross-Baker, junior Jailyn Mason and sophomore A’Tyanna Gaulden.
The combination allows Arkansas to go about eight players deep in its bench – something that could be a factor with a short bench for the Aggies.
Arkansas will finish high enough in the SEC standings to avoid a first-day game at the SEC Tournament next week in Greenville, S.C. The date, time and next opponent will be determined by the end of the day on Sunday.
