Arkansas coach Eric Musselman was a happy man Wednesday night.
At times, Arkansas looked like the team it expected to be when the season began. They started the year ranked in the Top 25, but a mediocre December carried into a brutal January and Razorbacks have found themselves well outside the NCAA Tournament picture.
Such results through the month largely left Musselman with more questions than answers. On Wednesday, the head Hog went so far as to say his team looked like the teams from the previous three years, the teams that made three straight Sweet Sixteens.
Arkansas isn’t close, overall, to making it four straight years of such. But with more games like the one against Missouri, the Razorbacks are not exactly dead yet.
The trick is continuing.
