Eric Musselman is known for some wild post-game celebrations, including removing his shirt and unleashing unbridled joy with fans and players following big wins for Arkansas.
The Arkansas coach delivered the latest example Thursday night after Arkansas knocked off Gonzaga by going full Hog in the locker room, amid spraying water bottles and dancing.
It was a memorable and historic result for Arkansas, as it earned the first-ever win against a No. 1 team in the NCAA Tournament.
Arkansas had been 0-5 all-time against the nation’s top-ranked team and 2-11 overall, with one of those wins coming this season, per the Associated Press. The Razorbacks beat then-No. 1 Auburn 76-73 in overtime on Feb. 8, which set off the shirtless Musselman celebration.
Now that Arkansas has matched last year’s run to the Elite 8, the Razorbacks are looking for more.
“Yeah, the whole time that when the new guys came in, we preached to them like the bottom is us getting to the Elite 8, and that’s what we want to do the whole time,” Jaylin Williams said. “That’s what we’re working towards. Of course, we’re still hungry to keep achieving higher than what the expectations were, but we’re just going to keep playing hard. We set the standard for ourselves to keep going up, so that’s what we’re going to do.”
