Ruscin’s rant was in response to Turner saying that “we are trying to keep the circle tight and cut out a lot of the outside noise” during the postgame press conference following Arkansas’ 7-5 loss to Florida last Friday in the SEC Tournament, a loss that eliminated the Razorbacks.
To dig deeper into his comments, Turner elaborated that some Arkansas fans are good, and some are not, citing that reading Twitter following a loss can “get in your head a little bit.”
Since the incident, Arkansas fans have shown support towards Turner, hoping to give Turner, as well as the rest of the team, some motiviation for the upcoming regional to be played in Stillwater, Okla., hosted by Oklahoma State.
