> MUST-WIN MENTALITY. An all-important game lies in front of Razorback women’s basketball.
Arkansas is on the road tonight against Mississippi State in a matchup of two tournament bubble teams. The Hogs and Bulldogs each have 19 wins to their names with the regular season set to end on Sunday. This will also be the last true road game for Arkansas as head coach Mike Neighbors seeks his third 20-win season in Fayetteville.
SEC Network will carry the 8pm tip from Humphrey Coliseum.
> MORE THAN A GAME. Arkansas is lucky to have Rylee Langerman represent the Hogs on and off the court. She made the SEC Community Service Team for the second straight year this week and was also tabbed to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team. Rylee is among one of the leaders in community service hours on the women’s basketball team, dedicating her time to the Goodard School and helping out families during the holidays, all while maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.96.
> UNDEFEATED IMPACT. Freshman Carolina Gomez Alonso is 4-0 this spring for Arkansas women’s tennis, and her last two singles victories have directly led to wins for the Razorbacks. Her most recent outing against Baylor last weekend earned her SEC Freshman of the Week honors, her first-ever conference award. Carolina and the Hogs are back on the courts this weekend as they travel to Norman, OK to face Oklahoma and Missouri State.
> SPRING SETS. Got the offseason blues? We’ve got the cure. Arkansas volleyball will play two of its four spring games at Barnhill Arena, with the first match scheduled for March 11 against Central Arkansas. The Hogs will be on the road against Tulsa and in UMKC’s spring tournament before coming back to the Hill to face Missouri State on April 14. Click here to see the full spring schedule.
> PARTY’S HERE. Arkansas softball is set to open Bogle Park today in hosting the Razorback Invitational. The Hogs have six games scheduled through Sunday, with a doubleheader against No. 19 Arizona to put it all in motion.
The 8-2 Razorbacks have impressed in the batter’s so far, batting .293 and tallying 148 total bases in their first 10 contests. The 7-3 Wildcats represent a formidable adversary as they enter Fayetteville batting .392 with 152 total bases notched.
First pitch for game one is at 3pm, with game two immediately following at 5pm.
