About this episode
The Razorback basketball program made history last season, advancing to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 25 years. But the run to the Elite 8 wouldn't have been possible without Davonte "Devo" Davis hitting one of the biggest shots in program history. It was the culmination of not just Davis' freshman year, but his journey to becoming a Razorback. Because if history plays out differently, he may never have played for Arkansas. Originally committed to Oklahoma State, things changed when Eric Musselman was hired. Davis quickly built a strong bond with Musselman, who offered Devo a scholarship in person following a practice on a cafeteria tile floor that doubled as a gym. And just like that, the four-star Jacksonville, Arkansas, native was a Razorback. And after a slow start to his freshman year, he came on strong down the stretch, scoring in double figures in seven of the final nine games, including all four of the Hogs' NCAA Tournament matchups. He'll already go down in Arkansas history for the shot to make the Elite 8. But if Devo Davis has his way, he's just getting started.
