In front of a crowded Barnhill Arena for the first time since 1993, the Arkansas Razorbacks basketball team opened the season with their annual Red-White game. This year, in the spirit of throwing it back to an era of bygone glory, the teams had a pair of “honorary coaches” in legends Nolan Richardson and Eddie Sutton. Before the game, the two were recognized at mid-court. The ovation from the crowd was enthusiastic and warm.
The game itself opened with Team Eddie (in red) winning the tip-off. On the opening possession, Cal transfer and Little Rock native Connor Vanover hit a three point basket from the wing.
