“I am awfully proud of them,” Arkansas head coach Chris Bucknam said. “We wanted to come in here and make a statement. This is the first of three legs in the championship season and this is really the most important one. The SEC Championship means a lot to our school, and when you win an SEC Championship in any sport, I think you’re special. I’m just proud of our guys for the effort that they put in today and all the hard work that they’ve done, and all my assistant coaches too, they’ve really helped prepare this team. I’m really proud of them.”” (www.secdigitalnetwork.com)
