FAYETTEVILLE — The formal start of Kelsi Musick’s tenure as the Arkansas women’s basketball coach was a roller coaster that ended on a high note.
After falling behind 17-2 early, the Razorbacks stormed back to defeat preseason Conference USA favorite Louisiana Tech 93-81 on Tuesday night at Bud Walton Arena.
The final score was the largest lead for Arkansas, marking a 27-point swing from its early deficit. It was the largest comeback for the Razorbacks since coming from down 16 points to win 71-60 at Little Rock on Nov. 11, 2024.
“Everything's new,” Musick said. “A new staff, new team, new everything, and they could have easily rolled over, and they didn't.
