What’s funny to me is, people thought he came to Arkansas to kick the can down the road. We wouldn’t hire a coach in that fashion. We get 0 respect from the outside. We are a proud bball fan base. Cal is the 3rd hall of fame coach that’s coached here and people talk about Arkansas like we’re irrelevant.
For example I hear constantly how Arizona is a “blue blood”. How exactly ? Arkansas has a better tournament history than they do, we are 6-2 all time against them. I know what Arkansas is and isn’t, but it isn’t a program that is fine with taking the back seat. We actually have a little pride. We have the most tournament wins right now of any SEC team since 2015. Is that satisfying? Sure, but we also have higher expectations than just tournament wins. We want to get to our 7th final 4. We’d like to make the title game again. We almost went back to back in 93-95.
