Winning at Vanderbilt worth extra credits

There's only one team in the country that is comfortable playing in Vanderbilt's Memorial Gym, and that's the Commodores.

When Arkansas had things rolling in basketball, the Razorbacks had a distinct advantage at Bud Walton Arena, and definitely Barnhill Arena: That was the fans. Last Saturday, Hog fans were loud and proud.

Memorial Gym in Nashville, Tenn., is intimidating in a different way. It opened in 1952 to honor the students and alums who lost their lives in World War II.

It feels a little creepy.

Like maybe Jimmy Hoffa's body was buried there during the 1975 renovation.
