Following a 77-76 win over LSU inside Bud Walton Arena, the Arkansas Razorbacks celebrated on the court while fans jumped up and down in the stands. As Eric Musselman screamed into the crowd and pumped his first across the court, the Arkansas band got involved in the troll too.

After the final whistle sounded and the LSU team headed for the locker room, the Arkansas band played iconic Tigers’ anthem “Neck” in a classic trolling moment. The song, a cover of Cameo’s 1982 song “Talkin’ Out The Side Of Your Neck” which was later covered by rap group Dem Franchise Boyz, has sparked controversy and is banned because of the remixed lyrics sung by LSU students.

Despite the fact it has been banned since 2010, the song still makes occasional appearances at times during LSU sporting events despite the vulgar remixed lyrics.

Eric Musselman celebrates Arkansas win

Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman had plenty of reason to be happy after his team came away with a thrilling victory over LSU at Bud Walton Arena. The two teams were tied at halftime, but the Razorbacks managed to hold off a late Tigers run to come out on top — and keep their good standing in NCAA tournament projections.

LSU took the lead with 53 seconds left, but a late foul by Mwani Wilkinson gave JD Notae two free throws with nine seconds left. He made both, and the Tigers couldn’t respond on the other end when Xavier Pinson missed a layup with four seconds to play.

When the buzzer sounded, Musselman and Arkansas fans started the celebration. And after spending almost two months with his left arm in a sling, he could use both arms instead of one.

The victory marked Arkansas’ 14th in its last 15 games and improved the Razorbacks to 25-6 overall and 13-4 in SEC action. Stanley Umude led Arkansas in scoring with 23 points while Jaylin Williams notched another double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

For LSU, the rollercoaster season continues. The Tigers are now 20-10 overall and 8-9 in SEC action. They’ve also lost three of their last four games with one game remaining on the schedule before the conference tournament.

Both teams are getting ready to close out their seasons this weekend before heading to Tampa for the SEC tournament. Arkansas will take on Tennessee on the road while LSU has a home matchup with Alabama Saturday at noon ET.
