FAYETTEVILLE — A notification containing long-awaited news popped up on Arkansas basketball assistant coach Corey Williams' iPad on Friday.
He immediately passed the message along to his wife, Nicole: former Razorbacks coach Eddie Sutton will be announced as one of the inductees for this year’s Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
The official announcement of this year’s class will be made Saturday on ESPN beginning at 11 a.m.
Williams, who just completed his first season as an assistant under Eric Musselman at Arkansas, played for Sutton at Oklahoma State in the early 1990s and was part of a pair of Sweet Sixteen appearances.
