Mike Neighbors has walked through Stegeman Coliseum twice as Arkansas head coach. Each time, he is baffled by what he notices. There are more retired jersey numbers for the women’s basketball program (3: Teresa Edwards, Katrina McClain and Janet Harris) than the men’s team (1: Dominique Wilkins).
That’s a testament to the program’s legacy built under Andy Landers — anything less than success is unacceptable. Perhaps nothing illustrates that better than the 33 NCAA Tournament bids Georgia’s received in the 38 tournaments since Landers began his illustrious coaching career in 1979.
This season’s finish will fall under the negative category.
