Arkansas drops to last spot in AP top 25

By Otis Kirk

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas has dropped to No. 25 in the Associated Press poll released on Monday.

The Razorbacks have lost three games in a row, all by double digits, and face a tough road test at Missouri on Wednesday night. The Hogs have yet to win a true road game this season. The Hogs are 8-1 in Bud Walton Arena, 0-3 on the road and 4-1 on neutral courts.

The Razorbacks started the season ranked No. 9, but have since lost forward Trevon Brazile for the season to an ACL injury. In addition, true freshman Nick Smith Jr. has been limited to five games due to a knee issue. The Hogs are hoping to get him back in February.

Wednesday's game tips at 8:00 p.m. and will be televised on the SEC Network. Arkansas (12-5, 1-3) defeated Missouri 74-68 on Jan. 4 in Bud Walton Arena for its lone SEC win. Missouri (13-4, 2-3) is unranked this week.
