1994


"Right side Thurman, he's open for 3, GOOD! Scotty Thurman with his third three, Arkansas leads it by three with 48 seconds to go..."


That shot sealed Arkansas' 1994 national championship with a 76-72 victory over Duke, giving the Hogs their first national championship in their first try in the title game.


Now they return to Bud Walton Arena this Sunday where they will find a young Razorback team in disarray, 1-12 in the Southeastern Conference, hosting SEC East doormat Georgia.


20,000 plus will hopefully be on hand to see the 1994 squad, return in all its glory.


The original broadcast of the Duke game will be played over the video boards and throughout the arena from 12:30 to 2 p.m., with players and coaches from the '94 team signing autographs as well in the concourse.


I can't wait for the halftime recognition, and seeing Nolan, Scotty and Corliss reunited with the Hog faithful once more.


Maybe their presence alone will lead the Hogs to an SEC win.
