The University of Arkansas at Little Rock, known as UALR in NCAA Tournament circles, got a couple of nice references on its resume last week.
Former Trojans head coaches Chris Beard and Porter Moser became head coaches at two of the biggest programs in the Big 12.
Moser, who coached the Trojans from 2000-03, was named head coach at Oklahoma. He will replace legendary coach Lon Kruger, who retired.
Beard, who coached at UALR for one season in 2015-16 and knocked off No. 5 seed Purdue in overtime of the NCAA Tournament, became the head coach of the Texas Longhorns.
