The school's team currently competes in the Southeastern Conference. The basketball team plays its home games in Bud Walton Arena on the University of Arkansas campus under fourth-year head coach Mike Neighbors. History Women's basketball has been a part of the fabric of the University of Arkansas for almost a century.

While the women waited until 1976 for the first varsity team to officially represent the University, these early photos show how the game captured what was then deemed “the fairer sex” in action. Arkansas' women's basketball history can be definitively traced to the 1976-77 season when the University began keeping records. Since that time, the Razorback women's basketball team has m ...

Southwest Conference
The Southwest Conference (SWC) was an NCAA Division I college athletic conference in the United States that existed from 1914 to 1996. Composed primarily of schools from Texas, at various times the conference included schools from Oklahoma and Arkansas. For most of its history, the core members of the conference were Texas-based schools plus one in Arkansas: Baylor University, Rice University, Southern Methodist University, Texas A&M University, Texas Christian University, Texas Tech University, the University of Arkansas and the University of Texas at Austin. After a long period of stability, the conference's overall athletic prowess began to decline throughout the 1980s, due in part to numerous member schools violating NCAA recruiting rules, culminating in the suspension of the entire SMU football program ("death penalty") for the 1987 and 1988 seasons. Arkansas, after years of feeling like an outsider in the conference, left after the 1990–91 school year to join the South ...

Schmidt Gymnasium was the home venue of Razorback basketball at the University of Arkansas from 1923 until 1937. Completed prior to the Razorbacks' inaugural season, the gym was a former car showroom and garage that local businessman Jay Fulbright (father of future U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, University of Arkansas president, and Razorback football player, J. William Fulbright) worked to acquire with Francis Schmidt when Schmidt became athletic director and coach of the basketball, football, and baseball teams in 1922.

Schmidt Gymnasium was built just north of the fine arts building on campus. After the 1936–37 season, the building was sold and moved to Fayetteville High School, before it became a river cabin on Big Piney Creek near Russellville, Arkansas Russellvil ...

World War I
World War I (28 July 1914 11 November 1918), often abbreviated as WWI, was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. Belligerents included much of Europe, the Russian Empire, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire, with fighting occurring throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease. Millions more died in genocides within the Ottoman Empire and in the 1918 influenza pandemic, which was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war.

Tensions in the Balkans came to a head on 28 June 1914, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdin ...
