FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman got emotional when he addressed his players March 12 at the team hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
The Razorbacks were scheduled to play South Carolina that night in a second-round SEC Tournament game in Bridgestone Arena, and they were gathered for breakfast.
Instead of the Razorbacks continuing preparations for the Gamecocks, Musselman had to inform his team the rest of the SEC Tournament had been canceled.
He had just gotten the news from Arkansas Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek, who was meeting with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey and other conference athletic directors.
