Coaches put Razorbacks at No. 22 to match ranking in media poll
Arkansas has been ranked No. 22 in the first USA Today coaches poll of the 2019-20 season, announced Thursday.
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas has been ranked No. 22 in the first USA Today coaches poll of the 2019-20 season, announced Thursday.
This marks the first time the Hogs have been ranked in the coaches poll since 2014, and the first time the Razorbacks have started a season ranked since 2002.
The Razorbacks are coming off of a 22-win season in 2018-19, the most wins for the program since the 2011-12 season.
Coach Mike Neighbors and Co. return four of five starters from last year’s team, including Chelsea Dungee, who was named to the SEC’s Preseason First Team by both the media and the coaches.
The Hogs also add talented transfer Amber Ramirez to the lineup after she was forced to sit out last season.
The Razorbacks went unbeaten during their exhibition schedule, beating Pittsburg State, 97-63, and Oklahoma City, 77-62.
The Hogs open their season next Friday at home against New Orleans on Elementary Day. Tip-off is set for 10:30 a.m. in Bud Walton Arena.
