Arkansas coach Eric Musselman took questions for nine minutes Wednesday following his team’s loss to Tennessee.
His team’s school-record 29-point loss to Tennessee.
Musselman did his best to hold back extraordinary frustration. Tennessee and Arkansas have been playing since 1934, albeit not every season since, and the Volunteers had never beaten the Hogs that badly. What makes it more frustrating for Musselman is that just over one month ago, Arkansas lost by a Bud Walton Arena-record 32 points to Auburn.
Things simply have not gotten better for the Razorbacks since they began their nosedive in December. Musselman has had to live with six weeks worth of the same questions from fans and media. He’s said multiple times he isn’t sure how to get through to his players at this point.
And they sure aren’t hearing it. Arkansas now sits at 3-8 in SEC play. If the Hogs don’t win another league game this year, 2023-24 will go down as the third worst SEC season ever.
Here’s what Musselman had to say Wednesday.
