What Eric Musselman said after Arkansas’ win over Fordham

Arkansas coach Eric Musselman was much happier Friday than he was Monday.

Arkansas coach Eric Musselman was in a more chipper mood after Friday’s win over Fordham than he was after Monday’s over North Dakota State.

His team played much better, incidentally.

The Razorbacks were sluggish for the first 10 minutes against the Rams, but an aggressive defensive spurt through the middle part of the first half led Arkansas to a 23-4 run and a 74-48 win.

Arkansas scored 30 points off 30 Fordham turnovers and outscored the Rams 54-20 in the paint. The defensive effort, especially during the run, was the best Musselman said he’s seen in a long time.

The Hogs fourth-year coach was in a jolly enough mood, he half-joked he wanted a fast press conference post-game so he could head to a Waka Flocka Flame concert in Fayetteville.
