Welcome Back, Hogs! Arkansas Returns To Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll

Arkansas has re-entered the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA Today for the first time since the week of December 13.

The Arkansas Razorbacks are being rewarded for a successful week on the hardwood.

After knocking on the door of both polls for several weeks, It was announced Monday that Arkansas has re-entered the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA Today for the first time since the week of December 13, checking in at No. 24. 

The Razorbacks began the week by taking down No. 1 Auburn at home, 80-76 in overtime. The win was Arkansas’ 12th in 20 opportunities against top-5 teams, and their first win over a No. 1 team in Bud Walton Arena’s history.

Arkansas’ week did not end as happily as it began, as the Razorbacks fell to Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Saturday, 68-67, snapping a nine-game winning streak.

The Razorbacks return to the court Tuesday, as they travel to rival Missouri for a 8 p.m. tipoff.
