Arkansas was picked to finish seventh during the 2022 SEC season in women’s basketball, the league office announced today.

South Carolina was selected by the media to win the league, while Texas A&M, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky and Ole Miss were slated above coach Mike Neighbors’ team.

The Razorbacks were picked to finish sixth in the SEC Preseason media poll last week.

For the first time in her career, redshirt senior guard Amber Ramirez earned a preseason All-SEC honor, being tabbed as a member of the second team by the coaches.

Ramirez has been a key part of the Hogs’ offense since transferring from TCU. She averaged 13.5 points last year, third on the team behind WNBA draft picks Chelsea Dungee and Destiny Slocum.

Ramirez drilled 77 three-pointers, shooting 43.5%. Those were good for 11th and 15th in the nation, respectfully.
