FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (Interstat) — The Arkansas women’s basketball team looks to rebound from a two-game skid when it hosts the Jackson State Lady Tigers at Bud Walton Arena on Sunday. The Razorbacks (7-3) have dropped consecutive games to Harvard and SMU after a five-game winning streak. Guard Wyvette Mayberry, a key facilitator, is coming off a 10-point, five-assist performance in the 78-63 loss at SMU on Thursday. She will be tasked with jump-starting an Arkansas offense that managed just 51 points in its prior home loss. Jackson State (2-5) arrives with momentum from a 76-55 road victory at Gardner-Webb last Saturday. Guard Leianya Massenat led the Lady Tigers with 17 points in that win and has been a consistent offensive threat, averaging 10.4 points over her last five contests. She will need a strong performance against a Southeastern Conference opponent. The matchup presents a stark contrast in early-season trajectories. Arkansas has built its record against a mixed schedule, including Power Five opponents, while Jackson State has struggled against a challenging slate of road games. The Lady Tigers’ only other win this season came against Division III MUW. This game is the first of a tough four-game road stretch for Jackson State, which will visit Alabama, Illinois, Purdue and Auburn later this month. For Arkansas, it is the final home game before a short trip to Missouri State and serves as a tune-up before SEC play begins in January. Sunday’s contest tips off at Bud Walton Arena, where the Razorbacks are 4-1 this season. Jackson State seeks its first win over an SEC opponent since 2022.
