Fort Smith Welcomes Anderson

FORT SMITH, Ark. – University of Arkansas Head Men’s Basketball Coach Mike Anderson received a hardy welcome at the Fort Smith Razorback Club as he made his fourth stop of the spring on the Razorback Club circuit.

Anderson met with his second club in as many days on Tuesday following his trip to Tulsa, Okla., on Monday and continued to give his vision of the future of Arkansas basketball.  He also addressed Arkansas’ plans for the preseason, his thoughts on returning to the program and what it means to be a Razorback.  Anderson also signed autographs and met with the media prior to the start of the program

Anderson led the Razorbacks to an 18-14 record in 2011-12 which included three victories over ranked teams, a school-record 17 wins at home and an undefeated non-conference home schedule.  The Razorbacks bring back a majority of their team for the 2012-13 season.

Anderson’s next stop on the Razorback Club trail is the Roy L. Murphy Club in Hot Springs, Ark., on May 1.  He also has trips to Saline County club in Benton, Ark. (May 3), Mississippi County Club in Blytheville, Ark. (May 7), Greers Ferry Lake (May 10) and Fort Smith, Ark. (May 14), for a golf outing on his agenda.
