Over 19,000 screaming fans. Smothering defense. Fast break offense.
It's everything that Razorback fans hoped for when Mike Anderson returned to Fayetteville.
In front of a national audience, Arkansas displayed flashes of "40 minutes of hell" in a 66-64 win over #19 Michigan Saturday.
The hot shooting cooled off, the pressure was eventually broken by the Wolverines, but the feeling never left the building.
Anderson created an atmosphere that, by all accounts, hasn't been present since the days when he was assistant coach for the Hogs.
A late pick and roll pass from BJ Young to Hunter Mickelson had 1 fan tweeting, "looked like beck to Corliss there," referencing the popular tandem on the Razorbacks championship team in '94.
This group is young, and many of the players probably don't even realize the level of nostalgia they're bringing to the fan base, but Saturday was proof that those championship memories could soon become a reality.
