FAYETTEVILLE — Eric Musselman’s top advice to his University of Arkansas players before Saturday’s 92-71 rout of Vanderbilt was “Don’t eat the cheese.”
Of course that was a metaphor for imploring the Razorbacks to not buy in to all the praise and acclaim they might have been hearing since they rallied from a 19-point deficit to outlast Auburn 76-73 on Wednesday.
To hammer home the point, Musselman had cheese taped underneath the chairs in the visitor’s locker room at Memorial Gymnasium early Saturday.
It was a cheesy move, but the Razorbacks’ attacking mentality was evident with a 9-0 start and efficient play on both ends of the floor.
