Looking back: Eric Musselman hired this day in 2019

FAYETTEVILLE, Ar. (AF) — Arkansas has a storied his of success when it comes to basketball. Many fans who were around in the 80s and 90s became accustomed to winning from coaches like Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson.

Between those two coaches, their teams won a total of 650 games between 1974 and 2002. Those wins included three Final Four appearances, one National Championship, 12 regular season conference championships, and seven conference tournament championships.

Those days had been lost somewhere along the way, though. Long enough that anyone born after 1994 had not seen the Razorbacks go so far as the Sweet 16.
