Nolan Richardson is many things. Hall of Famer. Champion. Coaching icon. And while it all started for him in El Paso, Texas, it was at Arkansas where he became a legend. After consistent improvement in his first four seasons with the Razorbacks, Richardson broke through in 1990, with the help of some memorable wins over rival Texas. If that was the turning point, the move to the SEC proved to be what launched Richardson and Arkansas to the top of the college basketball world. Arkansas beat their new rivals, Kentucky, in the first four regular-season meetings between the teams, establishing the Hogs as the top dog of the SEC. And that status would be further cemented in 1994 with a national championship. It was the crowning achievement in an outstanding career for Richardson, a man who thrived on being an underdog and people counting him out. And for this, the 150th episode of The Hog Pod, we’re going back to where we started it all, with the man who delivered the Razorbacks their only basketball national championship.
