Eric Musselman makes a point just about every Arkansas home game to give credit to the crowds at Bud Walton Arena, even when they’re relatively light.
Any credit he gave Wednesday was well-deserved.
The largest crowd in Bud Walton Arena history watched the unranked Razorbacks beat No. 7 Duke, 80-75, in a game the athletic department asked for a white-out. The crowd responded and then celebrated at the final horn, rushing the court.
Musselman, whose team is 5-3 so far this season, did not say things were perfect. In fact, other than the crowd, he downplayed most everything else his team did against the Blue Devils.
Not that he wasn’t happy with it. Musselman wanted to make sure his players would not allow it to go to their heads.
Check out everything he had to say late Monday night after the crowd finally exited the floor.
