State of the Hogs: No 24-hour rule after a win like UConn

While Chelsea Dungee probably rested after her Wonder Woman impersonation, Mike Neighbors decided to play Superman on Friday.

Neighbors, the Arkansas women’s basketball coach, did not sleep after the No. 19 Razorbacks outlasted No. 3 UConn, 90-87, Thursday night at Bud Walton Arena. It was a victory for the ages and Neighbors wanted to take advantage of an opportunity to bask in the sunlight.

Neighbors was too excited to shut his eyes even for a few minutes. When he arrived home Thursday night it was time to answer several hundred texts, many from his many contacts still awake on the West Coast.
