Elon's Schrage impressed with Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE — Elon coach Mike Schrage’s third trip to Fayetteville this year was his least favorite.

That is what the former Bobby Knight and Mike Krzyzewswki staff member said after an 81-55 loss to Arkansas on Tuesday at Bud Walton Arena.

“I have family in this area,” Schrage said. “I have three nephews that went to Arkansas. I was here twice in June, once for graduation and once for a wedding.

“I have a lot of respect (for Arkansas) and I think it is unique in the SEC. Football is big, but basketball is just as big in Arkansas and Kentucky.
