Musselman's Hogs open short on bigs

FAYETTEVILLE -- When the University of Arkansas basketball team held workouts for the NCAA-allotted four hours per week in the summer and fall leading into Tuesday's opening practice, Coach Eric Musselman didn't break his players into position groups.

One reason, Musselman said jokingly, is because the team doesn't have any "bigs."

It's true that the Razorbacks have only two eligible players taller than 6-7 -- sophomores Reggie Chaney and Ethan Henderson both at 6-8 -- with 7-3 Connor Vanover still waiting to hear from the NCAA if he'll be eligible this season after transferring from California and 6-9 Abayomi Iyiola sitting out after transferring from Stetson.
