CENTRAL ARKANSAS BEARS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Atlantic Sun ConferenceD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Central Arkansas women's basketball operates from Conway with a 14-player roster that has compiled a 16-10 record under Tony Kemper's direction this season. The Bears average 70.1 points per game while holding opponents to 57.3, demonstrating defensive discipline across their schedule. Playing in the ASUN Conference, Central Arkansas maintains an 8-5 conference record while thriving at the Farris Center with a 9-3 home mark, though road performance sits at 7-7 away from Conway.

The University of Central Arkansas, founded in 1907 and currently home to 9,962 students, competes as an FCS program with women's basketball as a winter sport centerpiece. Kemper's squad uses a defensive-first philosophy that has limited opponents significantly below the 70-point scoring average. The home court advantage proves substantial—the nine-win home record reflects strong execution at the Farris Center where the Bears control pace and leverage their scoring approach effectively.

Central Arkansas' conference positioning at 8-5 places the program competitively within ASUN play, while the 16-10 overall record shows balanced success against mixed competition levels. The disparity between home and away records suggests the program benefits from familiar surroundings and crowd support in Conway, an area the team continues developing through non-conference scheduling and conference matchups throughout the winter season.
