Assistant coach Smart will lead Razorbacks for game in his hometown
( David Beach/Special to the Democrat-Gazette )Arkansas assistant coach Keith Smart is shown during the Razorbacks' Red-White Game on Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021, at Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville.FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas basketball team will travel to Baton Rouge today for Saturday’s game at LSU without Coach Eric Musselman.
Musselman will stay at home recovering from surgery he underwent Thursday on his left shoulder to repair a torn rotator cuff.
The plan had been for Musselman to put off the surgery until after the season so he wouldn’t miss any practices or games. But that plan changed when the pain in his shoulder became worse, not better, in recent weeks.
