The women's basketball team plays at No. 25 Arkansas at 7 p.m. today (KKGM-AM 1630).
It's the first time SMU has faced a ranked opponent since an 80-45 loss at Oklahoma in Nov. 2005. Arkansas' (9-1) only loss was against No. 2 North Carolina.
SMU (6-2) has won two straight, but will be without starting guard Sharee Shepherd. The 5-10 junior, who is averaging 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds, has been suspended one game for a violation of team rules.
