Over the last few years, the results haven't been what Arkansas fans wanted, but at least the storylines have been perhaps the most interesting in college sports. It's the type of drama Netflix producers dream of.
The vibe in Bud Walton Arena had never been higher in the preseason when Arkansas named John Calipari the head coach of the Hardwood Hogs. His first season looked like a wash after starting 0-5 in conference play, but somehow he battled through injuries to make the Sweet Sixteen. Dave Van Horn is the GOAT of the regular season, but can't seem to break the national championship glass ceiling.
