[Alyssa Orange]

Hog fans and students met the Razorback Men's basketball team at the airport and at Bud Walton Arena to welcome them home and congratulate them on a big win over Kentucky Thursday night.

We were able to catch up with some of the students and talked to them about why they felt like coming out at midnight we say congratulations.

I love the way Madden interacts with the fans. He is the emotional leader of this team and Kikko and Clarke are the heart.

Watching that gave me goosebumps! Those guys played their butts off. And I appreciate them for bringing our program back to being respected again. Next year we will be feared again. It's coming..

Bud Walton should be rocking like old times when Georgia rolls in.
The crowd should be so loud they make Georgia wilt.
As least that's what I'm hoping for.

Better not be an empty seat in the house and they better all be on their feet! Go Hogs!!

We saw Hard nosed Gritty HawgBall last night.

+1 to everyone who showed up at the airport and when the bus arrived. The team deserved it. 

[Flatline]

That was freaking awesome. 

[Arky]

That brought chills. Man I miss my time on the hill.

We are so close to being where we all want to be...Elite!  A bit more work & a few more players but we were given more glimpse last night!  Incredible!!!  WPS & Go Hogs Go!

To the student that said it was the biggest win in 10 years, maybe in the regular season, yeah.

Beating Indiana in '08 for the first NCAAT win in nine years was a little bigger.

Kudos to the fans that went out there.  That's just awesome!

I think this win was bigger. We were predicted to beat Indiana.

True, but postseason always trumps regular season, IMO.

True, but postseason always trumps regular season, IMO.

True however this win was a game changer for our program. It had been 20 years. First time sweep of UK. Vegas had us as a 11pt underdog. I am still giddy like a schoolgirl.

[Chic-Hog-Oh]

True, but postseason always trumps regular season, IMO.

True, all else being equal. But this is Kentucky...AT Kentucky. Which is harder and more of a program-changer: beating a weak Indiana team you are favored over on a neutral floor (and then getting absolutely DRUBBED by NC two days later, by the way).... or beating the vaunted, 17th-ranked Wildcats on THEIR floor, where they were 83-4 under Calipari, when the line had you losing by 11, and even most of your FANS didn't think you'd win?
