LAST TIME OUT

In a battle of top-15 programs, No. 10 Arkansas fell to the No. 13 Kentucky Wildcats, 75-64, at Memorial Coliseum on New Years Eve.
The loss was characterized by the Razorbacks’ inability to make the three-ball.
Arkansas averages over 10 made threes per game this season, shooting over 38 percent from behind the arc on the year. But the Hogs managed just five three-pointers, shooting 24 percent from deep, in Thursday’s losing effort.
Despite the season-low point total, four Razorbacks still scored in double figures, led by Redshirt senior Chelsea Dungee, who scored 20 points.
Dungee recorded 20+ points for the fourth time this season and 35th time in her Arkansas career.
The Razorback defense forced 16 turnovers and held the Wildcats to their fourth-lowest point total of the season.
Redshirt sophomore Erynn Barnum notched 11 points and five boards off the bench on 5-6 shooting in 21 minutes.
Arkansas held the lead for over 14 minutes of game time and won the offensive rebound battle.
