A birthday bash

FAYETTEVILLE -- Official Chris Ford gave University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman something for his 55th birthday Tuesday night.

Musselman was presented his first technical foul at Arkansas.

The Razorbacks gave Musselman a present, too, as they beat Texas Southern 82-51 in Walton Arena before an announced crowd of 11,182.

Fans sang "Happy Birthday" to Musselman after the game. The players sang it as well to him in the locker room, then ate cupcakes with the coaching staff.

"With a guy like Coach Muss, I wouldn't want to lose on his birthday," said Arkansas senior guard Jimmy Whitt, who had 17 points and a team-high 10 rebounds.
