FAYETTEVILLE — Even by normal cupcake standards, Maryland-Eastern Shore ran into a buzz saw when it faced Arkansas on Monday night.
After letting the last few mid-majors hang around longer than expected, the No. 19 Razorbacks seemingly took out their frustrations on the lowly Hawks. They annihilated the MEAC program 109-35 inside Bud Walton Arena.
When the two head coaches met in front of the scorer’s table after the game, UA radio play-by-play man Chuck Barrett read the lips of Maryland-Eastern Shore basketball coach Cleo Hill Jr. as he shook hands with John Calipari.
You couldn’t do anything about it, he told the Hall of Famer, acknowledging his team was no match for Arkansas.
