Former Razorbacks hope the Hogs can decipher it from a distance……..

Arkansas’s FAYETTEVILLE Eric Musselman, the coach, exceeded all expectations. After missing the second round of the NCAA

Tournament for 25 years, three consecutive Sweet 16 appearances and two visits to the Elite Eight are beyond anyone’s wildest

expectations. Musselman’s most difficult task to date is to turn a squad that is totally out of sync into a lineup that plays like it was

coached by him.

He is turning to the history. His former followers took the bait and propelled the Head Hog and the initiative to widespread

recognition.

In the previous 24 to 48 hours, several former athletes have texted me to say, “Hey coach, been there.” Work things out,” Musselman

remarked. “So that’s what we’re trying to do.”

The past players who, in whatever situation, never gave up, took pleasure in their defense, and showed fight. Something that was not

to be found Saturday versus Auburn.

“We’ve got guys playing NBA games and then texting after a game,” added Musselman. “People are keeping track of the results abroad.

Guys are in the G league and they are texting. It wasn’t simply one or two texts that I received. There were a number of former guys

that I never coached that played here that are messaging great things.”

Anything may collapse just as fast as it can be constructed. However, Musselman’s achievement cannot be taken away from him.

In collegiate basketball, bad seasons do occur. Not every roster will have three NBA Draft selections, but there shouldn’t be any excuse

for the Hogs to play badly and sloppily. Pride should at least remedy that. a proud program with a strong sense of passion

To Musselman, it means a great deal. “I hope it means at least a little something to the guys on the roster to know that their former

teammates built something and take pride in what they built.”

Wednesday night at 8 p.m., the Hogs go to Georgia in an attempt to regain dignity. ESPNU and fuboTV will also broadcast the game
