Arkansas Razorbacks’ Game with Oklahoma at BOK Center in Tulsa in December Nothing to Fret About

When it got here throughout the wire that Arkansas has its recreation in opposition to Oklahoma set in stone for this December, the preliminary thought was it is good to see a future SEC opponent on the schedule. 

In any case, the final time the Razorbacks performed Oklahoma was the upset of a No. 4 Sooners workforce led by Blake Griffin at Bud Walton in 2008, proper?

The reply is a agency, no. The Razorbacks received curb stomped by Oklahoma, 88-66, on the BOK in Tulsa. 

Having a tough time remembering that recreation? So are lots of people, however that is the character of an Eric Musselman season.

Let’s job your reminiscence with a single phrase – Hofstra. 

There you go. It is all coming again now. 

Previous to what most Hog followers bear in mind because the basketball season with quite a few wins over High 10 groups and celebrating on desk tops wanting over a courtroom stormed ground, Arkansas went via a darkish interval.

The streak of video games a 3 made ended, Hofstra helped remind Razorback followers why residence video games must be performed at Bud Walton, and the Hogs misplaced 5-of-6 whereas the fan base melted in frustration solely simmered by a soccer bowl recreation in opposition to Penn State.

Tucked into the midst of all this, lengthy forgotten, is the Oklahoma recreation. Followers do not bear in mind as a result of it did not matter. 

Arkansas went on to beat Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky and Gonzaga earlier than falling to Duke within the Elite 8. Oklahoma took the win and used it to get into the NIT.

That is how good issues went. Musselman did his typical late January adjustment to lock down the line-up after which reminiscence wiped everybody with one other magical run. 

The sport with Oklahoma will probably be one thing attention-grabbing to look at in between the SEC championship recreation and that begin of bowl season, however that is about it. Win or lose, it can in all probability develop into one other recreation Hog followers forgot occurred.

In terms of basketball beneath Musselman, what occurs in December stays in December. 

Simply to refresh the followers, Connor Vanover began, Jaylin Williams barely performed a half, and Chris Lykes was being counted on for his potential to attain from the ground greater than the free throw line.

Not solely is it laborious to recollect, it is laborious to think about. Basketball throughout the fall semester is a time for Musselman to throw actually all the things in opposition to the wall and see what shakes out. 

If Arkansas loses by 20 once more in Tulsa, simply bear in mind to not freak out. In any case, two months later, followers will not bear in mind the sport in any respect.

That is simply the Musselman approach.
