This is one of my top 5 favorite memories of Razorback basketball. What an epic game. Other than the National Championship, in this moment, was the happiest I ever saw Nolan Richardson.
If I could bottle up a two plus hour moment in Arkansas basketball history, this game would be it. The national title the next year was awesome, but I can’t remember a game played better by both teams, Arkansas wins, and the atmosphere was as alive and wired as it was in this game. Perhaps the Kentucky game in Fayetteville in ‘95 is a close comparison. But give me this one every time.
I knew after watching this game that those 2 freshman (Williamson snd Thurman) were going to do amazing things. I didn’t know it would be the next season snd a championship. But u could just see this team was on the verge of dominating
I yearn to see it too. I just hate how college basketball has changed with so many players hell bent on the NBA. The good ones go to Kentucky and camp out a year and move on.
That one, and please, please,please! anyone please! Find the 89 game where Grovey out dueled Heisman winner Ware for the swc champ. One of the greatest (and most entertaining) hog games ever and no one has the video? Come on ABC give it up. At least put it on ESPN classics.
That was the first Arkansas Razorback football game my Pops took my brother and I to. The incredible roar of that crowd chanting SMU! as the game ended was unbelievable,,,
Nolan Richardson Rick Pitino and Billy tubs all ran that 40mins of hell defense better than any other teams in the country. Billy never got a chip and I think Richardson was the best to do that full court trap making u play 94 feet better than anyone… but I’m biased. When he was Tulsa university’s head coach he knew my father ( he worked at Tulsa university as well) and coach would let me shoot around on the other courts when his teams practiced til my dad got off work. He never gets the credit he deserves. I think he’s a top 10 coach of all time. But again I’m very biased

That spirit and talent will never be seen again in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Oh, man.... wish I could relive being a student at these games!
Robert Shepard was so fricken good. he almost took 'em to the final four.
Might be the best up and down NCAA D1 game I've seen

Both programs national title contenders at this point
Yep 94 Champs almost back to back 95 the other 96 Champs and 98 theses two schools where powerhouses for that stretch.

Barnhill was awesome.
We were loaded with talent 90-95...WPS
that dunk by UK at 8:05 is pretty raw...but glad the hogs won
Yelled myself hoarse many times in Barnhill. Good times...
F’n awesome!!!!!!!
You need to get your hands on that 1992 LSU game in Barnhill...
these were the days
Barnhill was WILD
Trust me if I ever do I will get it uploaded immediately. Been wanting that one for a while.

I yearn to see it too. I just hate how college basketball has changed with so many players hell bent on the NBA. The good ones go to Kentucky and camp out a year and move on.
