The Arkansas Razorbacks (28-9 overall) had their season end in the Elite Eight. What could possibly be the best coaching job ever by a Razorback head coach, Eric Musselman flipped the script on the season. He had his team make a complete 180 degree turnaround and not find themselves in a lost season.
This Razorback team went further than any fan could have imagined after an 0-3 start to SEC play and a stretch of five losses in six games. This team recovered and made it within hands reach of their first Final Four since 1995.
Duke used its size to their advantage by attacking the boards and scoring in the paint over and over.
