Missouri State Bears defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks in the John Q. Hammons Arena Inaugural Game on 11-22-08. Final score was 62-57, the students stormed the court and opened JQH with a bang.
See Arkansas played Missouri State whenever Hammons Student Center opened. So they wanted to start off JQH Arena the same way by having the season and arena opener against Arkansas.
If only Missouri State could of brought that type of game play to the rest of the season. They would of been bad ass! But no the Missouri Valley sucks ass.
I just have a tremendous amount of respect for Arkansas for having the balls to travel to springfield. Most BCS schools just refuse to play anything other than home games against cupcakes- see mizzou.
and with that being the first game in that arena that everyone thought we were going to lose and we had lost to them all the time in the past...storming the court was necessary
yeah arkansas wasn't that great of a team. after that MSU game they just went and beat texas and oklahoma but i guess that's nothing special, not that good.
GO HOGS GO!!!
