Eric Musselman, Sam Pittman hand out free food to Arkansas students waiting in line to get inside Bud Walton Arena
Published:
Eric Musselman and Sam Pittman are willing to do anything and everything they can to fire up Arkansas students that support the athletics programs in Fayetteville.
The latest evidence of that?
Students have been waiting in line and braving the cold weather since 6 a.m. Saturday morning to get into Bud Walton Arena to see Musselman’s Razorback basketball team take on No. 10 Kentucky at 3 p.m. CT. While the game will be televised nationally by ESPN, these students aren’t going to miss an opportunity to support the Razorbacks after the team has gotten off to a 14-2 start this season.
To thank the students for their support, Musselman and Pittman gave out free food leading up to the game to the students waiting in line for the contest.
While this weekend is huge for the Arkansas basketball program on the hardwood, it’s also a big weekend for Pittman’s program in recruiting as Arkansas is currently hosting several targets heading into the upcoming National Signing Day. Credit the Head Hog for getting out and showing some love to Musselman’s program despite his busy schedule hosting football recruits this weekend.

They’ve been out here since 6am.
