Milestones/accomplishments
No. 19 Arkansas Razorbacks
The Razorbacks upset the No. 3 UConn Huskies 90-87 on Thursday. With their win over the then-No. 4 Baylor Lady Bears on Dec. 6, the Razorbacks have now defeated two teams in the Top 5 in the same season for the first time ever.
Arkansas has struggled against ranked teams for the most part this season and was 2-5 in SEC play entering its game against the Huskies. While it was still in the Top 25, it had been a disappointing season overall to that point. But the Razorbacks showed all the heart in the world and needed it to upset UConn.
