Mike Neighbors’ Razorbacks picked to finish sixth in SEC

Arkansas has finished eighth-or-better in each of the last four seasons.

If the media’s preseason SEC projections hold, Arkansas will be back in the NCAA Tournament.

The Razorbacks, of the women’s basketball variety, were picked to finish sixth this year in the SEC after the league’s media predictions were released Tuesday. Arkansas finished eighth in the conference last year.

Coach Mike Neighbors is heading into his seventh season at Arkansas. He’s led the Hogs to two NCAA Tournaments in his six seasons. It would be three out of six if it weren’t for the tournament’s cancellation because of COVID-19 in 2020.

That season the Razorbacks finished tied for third in the SEC during the regular season. They haven’t finished worse than eighth since.
