Arkansas Lady Razorbacks
RECORD: 20-13 REGION: West SEED: 9
COACH: Gary Blair CONFERENCE: SEC |
RESULTS| MESSAGE BOARD
Road to the Final Four.............................................................................................
Overview
 The Razorbacks finished 6-8 in the SEC (19-12 overall), but a sub-.500 conference record is no longer grounds for dismissal from the NCAA Tournament. Coach Gary Blair's team, No. 32 in the latest RPI, has overcome long odds before, getting to the Final Four (and becoming the highest seed ever to make the trip) several years ago as a No. 9 seed. Arkansas scored more 3-pointers than any team in the SEC, and the Lady Razorbacks will need to knock them down to stay alive in the postseason.
Player to Watch
Wendi Willits shoots 40 percent from beyond the arc and averages 13 points and 2.7 3-pointers per game.
