Arkansas is coming off a 22-15 season in 2018-19, its most wins in a season since the 2011-12 campaign. The Hogs are looking to carry over the momentum they had at the end of last season into this one, as they won five postseason games, the most since they won five straight to claim the WNIT title back in 1999. Part of that postseason run included an appearance in the SEC Tournament Championship game, the first in the history of the program.

The Razorbacks put up big offensive numbers in Neighbors’ second season at the helm, including setting the single-season scoring record (2,736 points), breaking the previous mark (2,558), which had stood since 1981-82. The Razorbacks also broke the following single-season team records last year: 3 PT FG (296), 3 PT FG attempted (922), games played (37) and minutes played (7425).

Pittsburg State, meanwhile, is coming off of a 21-7 season. They return several key players, including leading scorer Maya Williams (11.0) and leading rebounder Athena Alvarado (6.9). The Gorillas earned an at-large bid in the DII NCAA Tournament a season ago, but were bounced in the first round by Fort Hays State.
