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.
