Arkansas Game Notes

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas women’s basketball team travels to Piscataway, N.J., taking on Rutgers University Sunday at The RAC in a 1 p.m. game.

Arkansas (2-5) has dropped its last five contests but bright spots abound for the Razorbacks. Junior Jessica Jackson ranks third in the Southeastern Conference averaging 17.8 points per game and is 12th in the league with 8.0 rebounds per contest. Junior Kelsey Brooks is third in the SEC in assist/turnover ratio with a 4.2 average and junior transfer Alecia Cooley picked up a double-double in her last outing.
Razorback head coach Jimmy Dykes has a deep bench this year with 11 players, all of whom have contributed in 2015. In fact, Dykes has used four different lineups in an effort to find the best combination for starting games. The guard-heavy team has had Jackson and senior Melissa Wolff start every contest but Brooks, Jordan Danberry, Malica Monk, Briunna Freeman and Devin Cosper have moved in and out of the starting lineup all season.
