How far has the Arkansas men’s basketball program fallen?
Saturday, as I sat in the media room at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, I overheard a conversation of sportswriters who cover the Missouri Valley Conference. As they waited for the tip of the Iowa State/Northern Iowa game, they discussed the fortunes of the other MVC teams.
When they got to Evansville, both were surprised they lost to Arkansas.
The writers expected the 10-2 upstart Aces to come to Walton Arena and beat Arkansas, who, in fact, played one of its better games of the season to win, 89-76.
