Musselman may have no choice if ex-Alabama star forces game in Bahamas
DALLAS – In an era before the last generation or two of Razorback fans can remember, in the time when Nolan Richardson stalked the court at Arkansas in his cowboy boots and unique collection of shirts, the Razorbacks vs. what was then called Memphis State was as must-see as it gets. If it’s up to Tigers head coach Penny Hardaway, who was a huge thorn in the Hogs’ side back then, that game will come back.
“Everybody's always saying they want to do it,” Hardaway said. “It's just a matter of getting it doneThe problem that comes with it is everybody has already committed to something like a Home and home with a team the year before, so Maybe a yer or two from now we can get the Arkansas rivalry back and get the thing going back the way we need it to.”Arkansas recruited the rich grounds in and around Memphis in the late ‘80s and early 90s.
Hardaway drew first blood in what was a strong natural rivalry. He had 15 points and 10 assists when the Tigers took down Richardson’s No. 5 ranked Razorbacks, 92-88, on national TV in February of 1992Just over a month later, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Milwaukee, Memphis products Day and Hardaway had to watch from the bench after fouling out late as David Vaughn put back his own shot with eight seconds left to claim an 82-80 upset of No. 9 Arkansas..
The Razorbacks and Tigers met at least once per year every season going forward in a series of barn burners that finally ended in 2003 with a 72-67 loss in Fayetteville.
