FAYETTEVILLE — Prior to Friday's Southeastern Conference opener, Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn and Missouri coach Steve Bieser will shake hands and exchange lineup cards at home plate.
Razorbacks first baseman Trevor Ezell might watch the customary exchange with an odd feeling. Bieser was Ezell's first college head coach at Southeast Missouri State from 2015-16; Van Horn is his last.
"I've only seen Coach Bieser a couple of times since he went to Missouri," Ezell said. "We played them when I was still at SEMO, so I got to see him there, but I haven't got to see him a whole lot.
