Arkansas basketball team bounced back from a series of recent losses by securing a crucial win over Duke at Bud Walton Arena. Despite the big win, the team was not included in the latest AP Poll, falling short of the top 25.
Ranked as a de facto No. 36, Arkansas received 14 points, trailing closely behind Ole Miss. Memphis, Alabama, and South Carolina were also excluded from the poll, showing how unpredictable the current season is.
Early-season turmoil has set the stage for several surprises, such as Arizona claiming the top spot after Purdue’s loss while Kansas, Houston, and UConn join the top five. Meanwhile, several SEC teams managed to secure rankings, except for Arkansas.
Looking ahead, Arkansas faces Furman next, continuing to strive for a spot in the Top 25. For the complete ranking, see the list below along with relevant images.
