Twitter: Louisville fans salty, think Musselman should leave Arkansas to coach Cards
Eric Musselman isn’t going anywhere.
Sorry, Louisville fans.
The Cardinals’ faithful were out in full force during the second half and after No. 9 Arkansas’ 80-54 win over Louisville in the quarterfinals of the Maui Invitational on Monday. They want Musselman to head to Bluegrass State.
It isn’t happening.
Not with the roster and prestige Musselman has created in Fayetteville. A team with 11 new players annhilated Louisville (0-4) in every which way in the opening round in Hawaii.
And apparently some Louisville fans think the school should cut bait with first-year coach Kenny Payne in the offseason and make a full-fledged play for Arkansas’ fourth-year head man.
Repeat: It isn’t happening.
But that didn’t stop some of them from proclaiming their desire to see it happen, anyway.
Dream away, Cardinals fans. Dream away.
Arkansas' defense was legendary
Every @RazorbackMBB opponent since 1996-97 to miss 12+ field goal attempts & have 7+ turnovers:
UL's El Ellis, 11/21/2022: 12 misses 7 TOs
AU's Wendell Green, 2/8/2022: 12 misses 7 TOs
OM's Stefan Moody, 2/13/2015: 13 misses 7 TOs
SC's Devan Downey, 3/17/2010: 17 misses 8 TOs— HogStats.com (@HogStats) November 22, 2022
Arkansas out-athletes everyone
Muss had his “You better go get some men” moment against Duke last year and we are seeing the fruits.

Hogs went on a 24-4 run
That second half of the second half was wild. That was fun

Anthony Black is a floor general
#Arkansas has 20 assists on 28 made baskets (71.4% assist rate).

It's a good tweet, TBH
Anthony Black. That’s it. That’s the tweet

Don't forget Arkansas' best player hasn't played yet
🔥 Anthony Black looks really good. Him and Ricky Council.
Wait till Arkansas gets Nick Smith back from injury. https://t.co/dlMsY9rbhb

Louisville was angling for Mussleman in the day
The worst part about this is all the “We should have hired Musselman” people are gonna be extra loud for a while.

On what planet is Louisville, now, a better job than Arkansas?
Pretending we could have hired either is what is wrong with Louisville fans right now. Why in the world would Musselman or Drew leave their current situations to coach this team???

Musselman is more than just a great recruiter
Eric Musselman’s defenses know what the opponent will do before the opponent knows what they will do.
A thing of beauty, if you love watching excellent defense.

Sorry, Louisville
I'll give KP time, but I would have loved to see Musselman at UL. https://t.co/H5yup2fpx8
