Why are Arkansas basketball fans booing Kentucky's Davion Mintz? It's Razorback tradition

Arkansas Razorback basketball fans welcomed Kentucky's Davion Mintz to Bud Walton Arena on Saturday with a chorus of boos every time he touched the ball.

Wildcat fans picked up on the booing early, too. Many took to Twitter with the same question: What did the transfer from Creighton do to deserve the boos from the home crowd of 19,200?

Turns out, Mintz is at the wrong end of an Arkansas tradition.
