All five Arkansas starters scored in double figures and the Razorbacks rolled Alabama on Thursday night, 99-71.
The win provided an impressive bounce back for coach Mike Neighbors’ team after falling to No.1 South Carolina in the week. It also kept Arkansas in the middle of the pack in the SEC right in the mix of an NCAA Tournament bid.
Amber Ramirez led the team with 19 points as she shot 7 of 9 from the floor and 5 of 6 from 3-point range. The efficiency shooting was a theme as the Razorbacks shot 59% as a team and made 15 of 29 from beyond the arc.
Ramirez flirted with a triple-double, too, grabbing nine rebounds and doling out seven assists. She was joined in double figures scoring by her fellow starters Jersey Wolfenbarger (12 points), Makayla Daniels and Samara Spencer (18 apiece) and Sasha Goforth (11).
Forward Erynn Barnum also played for the first time since December 5 as she returned from a knee injury. The team’s best rebounder, Barnum scored eight points and had four boards in just 10 minutes.
The Razorbacks return to Bud Walton Arena on Sunday to play Mississippi State.
