Whatever happened to the Arkansas basketball over the last six weeks must be a disaster of epic proportions.
Coach Eric Musselman’s 2023-24 Razorbacks team started the year ranked in the Top 25. They were predicted to finish in the top five of the SEC. Most though they had a legitimate shot at a fourth straight Sweet 16.
At this point of the season, just seven games into league play, the NIT looks like a pipe dream.
Arkansas fell for the sixth time in those seven games Wednesday as Ole Miss demolished the Hogs from the opening whistle until the final buzzer, 77-51. Arkansas didn’t lead a single time for the second straight game.
The last time Arkansas was this bad this late into the season was in John Pelphrey’s second season when the Razorbacks went 2-14 in SEC play. But that season’s team lacked the talent this that season’s team has.
Epic disaster, indeed.
