Alabama QB Bryce Young left the Crimson Tide’s game against Arkansas in the second quarter with a shoulder injury after a third-down throw. The reigning Heisman winner wasn’t hit at all on the play as he fired an incomplete pass over the middle to Traeshon Holden. Young’s right throwing arm immediately dangled at his side and he grimaced after the throw. He pointed to his right shoulder when he looked at coach Nick Saban as he walked off the field and threw his helmet down in disgust… Source link

Cincinnati’s 22-game regular season winning streak has come to an end. On the heels of a historic trip to the College Football Playoff, the No. 23 Bearcats opened the 2022 season on the road against No. 19 Arkansas and fell 31-24. For Cincinnati, it was a case of missed opportunities and the inability to stop the run. In the first half, the Bearcats drove into Arkansas territory four different times but didn’t score a single point. Cincinnati’s offense played much better in the second… Source link

Arkansas men’s basketball coach Eric Musselman and his wife, Danyelle Sargent Musselman, did an interview with “The Field of 68” podcast on Friday. Rob Dauster asked Danyelle, “What’s it like being married to him in Fayetteville? I got to imagine — those fans, one, they’re crazy; they’re out of their minds. It’s crazy in a good way, right?” “We don’t go out much,” Danyelle said. “We live in a little gated neighborhood, and that’s kind of like our sanctuary. We honestly, we don’t go out much….

For most of the season, Gonzaga could count on a run almost any time it needed one. On Thursday it didn’t come. A vexing Arkansas defense flummoxed the high-octane Bulldogs en route to a 74-68 stunner to send the No. 1 overall seed home from the NCAA tournament. The fourth-seeded Razorbacks, meanwhile, advance to the Elite Eight, where they’ll face a second-seeded Duke team that beat Texas Tech later Thursday. The first half ended ominously for Gonzaga, which suffered a 4:48 scoring drought… Source link

Before Kentucky’s TyTy Washington Jr. even released a wild 3-pointer at the buzzer, doomsday Arkansas bettors had to know it was going in. Those who took the Razorbacks -3 at BetMGM felt good on Saturday afternoon, but only for a moment. Arkansas took a lead late in the game and was on the verge of a nice win over the Wildcats. Arkansas led 73-70 in the final 30 seconds when Kentucky missed a three and had to foul. Davonte Davis missed a free throw with 13 seconds left but hit the second one,… Source link

INDIANAPOLIS — The long, tortured revival of Arkansas to the forefront of college basketball took more than a quarter century. The Razorbacks parted ways with a Hall of Fame coach, churned through three forgettable tenures and wandered through long stretches of irrelevancy. Arkansas hasn’t played in the Final Four since reaching back-to-back national title games in 1994 and 1995, a time when the school’s famous “Calling the Hogs” provided a soundtrack for the sport. Well, that nostalgic… Source link
