Musselman honoring ’94 team with student promotion for season opener

3,000 jerseys with the No. 94 will be handed out in the student section Monday night for the season opener with Alcorn State to honor the 1993-94 championship team.

Eric Musselman never lacks for creativity.

Or for finding ways to get eyeballs on his team and on his program, along with connecting to the student body.

In preparation for Monday night’s season opener with Alcorn State, they will passing out No. 94 jerseys to the first 3,000 students in attendance.

3,000 is also the amount of 3-pointers that Al Dillard hit against Delaware State that season in a 123-66 rout (actually, it was 12).

Arkansas has won every single home opener since Musselman took over as head coach before the 2019-20 season, and all of them by double digits.

Alcorn State is 0-5 lifetime against the Razorbacks, with the last meeting a 97-59 decision in favor of the Razorbacks.

The last time Arkansas opened the season with Alcorn State back in 2009, Rotnei Clarke set a school record with 51 points.
