Arkansas fell two spots in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 women's basketball poll.

The Razorbacks came in at No. 15 on Monday following a one-game appearance at the SEC Tournament in Greenville, S.C., last week. Arkansas lost 69-60 to Ole Miss on Thursday.

Mike Neighbors’ team now awaits its NCAA Tournament matchup. Arkansas is a No. 4 seed in ESPN women’s college basketball bracketologist Charlie Creme’s latest projection.

The Razorbacks are 19-8 overall ahead of the NCAA Tournament selection show on March 15.

Other SEC teams in this week’s AP poll are Texas A&M (4), South Carolina (5), Georgia (12), Tennessee (14) and Kentucky (18).
