Eric Musselman: Arkansas ‘not satisfied at all’ with incredible run down the stretch

At one point this season, Arkansas had lost 4 0f 5 games. It was a stretch that included a loss to Hofstra and a 3-game losing streak vs. Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M.

Then, the Razorbacks in January. Since Jan. 12, Arkansas has 13 wins in 14 games and is riding a 4-game winning streak after knocking off Kentucky Saturday afternoon. That stretch includes wins over top-10 teams in Auburn and Kentucky and another top-25 win over Tennessee.

Despite that impressive stretch, head coach Eric Musselman said his team is not satisfied heading toward March.

Musselman: “We beat Kentucky, we beat Auburn, we beat Tennessee… we’re not satisfied at all.”

Musselman went on to say that the Razorbacks have more than weathered a brutal schedule in SEC play. At times, Arkansas has looked dominant.

Musselman on his team: “What the group has done is they weathered a really tough schedule. Not only did they weather it, they dominated it.”

Musselman also shared some special praise for JD Notae or led Arkansas with 30 points and 8 rebounds. The head coach said Notae just keeps getting better but has always been a true scorer.

Eric Musselman on JD Notae: He’s one of the best players in the country. He’s still growing. He keeps getting better, and he’s going to keep getting better. Tonight, we needed him to score a lot.

With 2 games to go, Arkansas still has a shot to share in the regular-season SEC title.
