Episode 134: Muss – Year 3

Razorback basketball hit high marks last season that hadn’t been seen in 25 years. The first Sweet 16 since 1996. The first Elite 8 since 1995. And the program’s best winning percentage since the Hogs came within a game of back-to-back national titles. In short, Razorback basketball was fun again. And that’s just the way head coach Eric Musselman likes it. Old school or new school — whatever you want to call it — it’s working. In just two years, Musselman has revitalized a program. His 45 wins through two seasons are the most by any coach in program history, and his 20 conference wins are tied with Eddie Sutton atop the Razorbacks’ all-time coaching list. It’s fun to win. But there’s a lot of work that goes into it. And it’s that grind and a relentless quest to get better that has defined the Razorbacks so far under Musselman. It’s elevated Arkansas back among the SEC elite and to national prominence. And as Year 3 of the Musselman Era begins, Hog fans are ready to see what comes next.
