When it comes to sports, everyone loves a villain.
There’s a special satisfaction in beating the flamboyant, sometimes arrogant figures of college basketball, or any sport for that matter. Winning always feels great, but it just doesn’t hit the same when it comes against the good guys.
Unfortunately for the Hogs, Houston basketball coach Kelvin Sampson is the latter.
When No. 14 Arkansas travels to Newark, N.J., to play No. 8 Houston, it won’t only be two elite teams battling for a resume-boosting win. It’ll be a chess match between two of the best active coaches in the game.
