FAYETTEVILLE -- Mike Neighbors knows his Arkansas Razorbacks history.
Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long said the Greenwood native needed no primer on the Hog Call when he was announced Tuesday as the school's ninth head women's basketball coach at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville's Basketball Performance Center.
Neighbors, 48, referenced Scotty Thurman's game-winning shot that propelled the Razorbacks men to the 1994 national championship while addressing the crowd, along with the only Arkansas women's basketball team that made the Final Four in 1998 and Arkansas' football victory in the 1978 Orange Bowl.
Neighbors is now hoping to make his own Razorbacks history.
