NASHVILLE, Tenn. — While the University of Arkansas spent most of February mired in a six-game losing streak, there was more talk of Mike Anderson’s likelihood for a ninth season than there was of the Hogs having any chance of making March Madness.
Then the Hogs played Kentucky close, celebrated the 25-year anniversary of the national championship, the board of trustees was petitioned to name the floor in Bud Walton Arena after Nolan Richardson, and the Hogs closed the season with three straight victories.
No more talk about Anderson. Here’s a little talk about overcoming the odds and winning the SEC Tournament, and getting one of the final invites to the NCAA Tournament.
