Arkansas basketball holds steady in latest AP Top 25
The Arkansas basketball team stayed at the same spot for the second-straight week of the AP Top 25 on Monday.
The Hogs were previously at No. 21 last Monday, and that’s where they are in the Week 3 poll, which was released Monday afternoon.
Arkansas had a little trouble dispatching Central Arkansas in the first game of the week, and struggled pretty heavily against Samford on Friday. The Hogs won but just by four, 79-75.
The Hogs are the fifth-highest ranked team in the SEC, behind Alabama (11), Kentucky (12), Florida (10) and Tennessee (20). They will play all of those teams this coming season.
KenPom dropped Arkansas from No. 27 all the way down to No. 35 after the week’s games. The Razorbacks’ defensive rating sits at No. 25 and the offensive rating is ranked No. 51. That overall ranking is 10th in the SEC.
