Arkansas basketball drops out of AP Top 25
The Arkansas Razorbacks (13-6, 2-5) dropped out of the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time this season Monday.
Arkansas went 1-1 last week with a loss at Missouri on Wednesday and a home victory over Ole Miss on Saturday. The Hogs are off to a 2-5 start to conference play after entering 11-1.
This week, the Razorbacks will host the LSU Tigers for a matchup Tuesday at 6 p.m. CT and then they will hit the road to face Baylor in the SEC/Big 12 challenge on Saturday.
The Hogs were listed at No. 27 in Monday's NET rankings, No. 21 in ESPN's Basketball Power Index and they remained out of the ESPN Power Rankings for the third week in a row. Joe Lunardi has the Razorbacks as a 7-seed in his latest NCAA Bracketology (from Jan. 20) and the opponent he has them matched up with is 10-seed Maryland.
