Hoops Preview: Oklahoma State-Arkansas Highlight Big 12-SEC Challenge
A short three hour drive on US Highway 412 separates the Cowboys and the Razorbacks (an hour closer than all Big 12 teams not OU), but we’re in for a rare treat as the teams play this Saturday afternoon. Coached by a familiar face in Mike Anderson, the Mizzou head coach from 2006-2011, Arkansas likes to play fast being branded as #TheFastest40.
The Pokes and the Razorbacks haven’t played much since before the 1970s, but OSU won all four recent meetings from 2000-03. Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson brought a little more star power than current Hogs coach Mike Anderson and coach Underwood do, but both feature exciting pressure defenses, prolific offense and solid three-point shooting.
