Arkansas didn’t make either major Top 25 poll today. The AP Poll was released a few minutes ago, and Arkansas received the third-most votes in the “others receiving votes” category to place 28th in the mythical, extended version of the media rankings. The Hogs weren’t close to making the USA Today/ESPN Coaches’ Top 25.
Here’s the update from this morning concerning the coaches’ poll:
Arkansas garnered some votes but didn’t make it into the field of 25 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches’ Top 25 poll this afternoon. The Hogs received 27 points and are 36th if you extended the 25-team poll.
Not a surprising development. I wonder if Razorbacks coach John Pelphrey voted for his Hogs. He’s a part of the 31-member Board of Coaches that participate in the poll.
After North Carolina’s 85-78 loss at home to Boston College last night in its ACC opener, Pittsburgh claimed the No. 1 spot in the poll. It’s the first No. 1 ranking ever in men’s basketball for the athletics department there, which was once led by second-year UA athletics director Jeff Long.
