Arkansas basketball suffers big drop in AP Top 25
The Arkansas Razorbacks saw their biggest drop of the season to No. 25 in the latest update of the AP Top 25 poll.

This week, the Razorbacks will travel to Missouri for a matchup Wednesday at 8 p.m. CT and then they will return home to host Ole Miss on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT.
The Razorbacks remained moved down to the fourth highest-ranked SEC school and they are one of four SEC teams ranked in the poll. The others included No. 4 Alabama, No. 9 Tennessee, No. 16 Auburn.
The Hogs were listed at No. 27 in Monday's NET rankings, No. 15 in ESPN's Basketball Power Index and they remained out of the ESPN Power Rankings for the second week in a row.
