FAYETTEVILLE -- The road trip for March Madness 2017 lasted nearly two weeks.
After covering the University of Arkansas basketball team at the SEC Tournament in Nashville, Tenn. -- where the Razorbacks advanced to the championship game before losing to Kentucky 82-65 -- Arkansas Democrat-Gazette sports editor Wally Hall, photographer J.T. Wampler and myself stayed on the road for the NCAA Tournament.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporters who covered memorable Arkansas sports events of the past share their insights from today.
The Razorbacks were sent to Greenville, S.C. -- less than a six-hour drive from Nashville -- for their NCAA Tournament assignment, so it didn't make sense to drive eight hours back to Fayetteville and then fly to Greenville.
