7PM at Reed.
Arkansas is 0-3 in SEC play and 11-5 overall but in a dangerous back to the wall state after blowing a late lead at home vs LSU after our win at Kentucky. The LadyBacks blew a 9 point lead with less than 5 minutes to go by turning the ball over a ridiculous number of times down the stretch. Coach Jimmy Dykes was obviously really unhappy about how his team performed, so the question in my mind is whether they come out with renewed focus from a rough few days of practice... or if they will be vulnerable from the psychological effect of losing like that.
Who knows? Since joining the SEC, there have been some close games vs Arkansas, but they won last year at their place 67-61. A bunch of the leaders from that team are back, including Jessica Jackson, Devin Cosper, and Alecia Cooley, while the Ags look very different (returning starters from that game were Khaalia and Jasmine). But Arkansas has also been losing a bunch of players to transfer.
Gig the Pigs!
