FAYETTEVILLE — A few minutes after Colgate was announced Sunday as the University of Arkansas basketball team’s first-round opponent in the NCAA Tournament, Razorbacks Coach Eric Musselman sounded like an expert on the Patriot League champion Raiders.
Speaking on a media Zoom call, Musselman rattled off where Colgate ranks in several national statistical categories and mentioned the Raiders’ key players by name.
Musselman said he learned all about Colgate earlier Sunday when the team traveled from Nashville, Tenn. — where Arkansas played in the SEC Tournament — to Indianapolis thanks to insight from Anthony Ruta, Arkansas’ director of operations.
