Coach Thurman Joins Mike’d Up On Monday
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas assistant coach Scotty Thurman will join Mike Anderson on the ninth Mike’d Up of the season, the weekly radio show dedicated to Arkansas basketball at Sassy’s Red House in Fayetteville on Monday at 7 p.m.
The one-hour program gives fans an opportunity to interact with Razorback coaches and players, while also getting a chance to learn more about the personalities they witness on the court. Hosted by the voice of the Razorbacks, Chuck Barrett, the program features interviews with Coach Anderson and Arkansas student-athletes, coaches and staff members. Fans in attendance will also have an opportunity to ask the head Razorback their own questions. Fans can also send in questions to Coach Anderson on the day of each show via Twitter to @RazorbackMBB and by using the hashtag #MikedUp.
Responsible for one of the most memorable moments in Arkansas basketball history, Scotty Thurman is in his seventh year with the program and his first as an assistant coach after serving as the Director of Student-Athlete Development for six seasons.
No stranger to Arkansas basketball, Thurman provided his signature moment in the final minute of the 1994 NCAA championship game when his three-pointer with 53 seconds remaining secured a 76-72 win over Duke. Thurman returned to the Razorbacks in 2010-11, after successful professional and business careers to assist the student-athletes associated with the men’s basketball program with their growth as individuals off the court. He made the transition to the bench this season and assists with recruiting, scouting reports and player development.
The Razorbacks are 17-6 overall, 6-4 in SEC play, and return to Bud Walton Arena Tuesday evening to host Vanderbilt at 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network.
Mike’d Up can be heard across the Razorback Sports Network from IMG College throughout the state. To reserve your table for the show, call Sassy’s Red House at 479-856-6366 and tell them you want to get Mike’d Up with Mike Anderson.
