Arkansas Climbs Three Spots In Latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll

When it comes to Arkansas Razorbacks basketball, the stock continues to rise.

The Razorbacks (23-6) won two key games last week, defeating a Florida team on the road who had just upset the Auburn Tigers, and taking down the Wildcats of Kentucky in front of a raucous crowd inside Bud Walton Arena.

Both wins are just part of an amazing run where the Razorbacks have won 13 of their last 14 games. That streak has continued to give Arkansas more and more respect as the weeks go on, including in the polls. This week, the Razorbacks check in at No. 15 in the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll, powered by USA Today Sports.
