Two coaching buddies will meet in fabled Hinkle Fieldhouse on Sunday, but only one is going to leave a happy man.
Arkansas coach Eric Musselman and Texas Tech coach Chris Beard, the former Arkansas-Little Rock head coach, are friends who stay in touch.
“I like Muss,” Beard said. “We're friends. We exchange calls, a text every once in a while, a lot of respect for what he did at Nevada. We played those guys in Lubbock in a really tough game we were fortunate to win. I have a lot of pride in the state of Arkansas.
