| Transcript | SWC Classic History, XV & XVI SWC CLASSIC XV—MARCH 11,1990 (REUNION ARENA) ARKANSAS 96, HOUSTON 84 DALLAS—The championship game had a definite red tint to it—No. 7 Arkansas vs. No. 26 Houston. And it was Arkansas red that won out, as the Razorbacks claimed their second straight SWC Post-Season Classic championship with a 96-84 victory over the Cougars. The Razorbacks, ranked among the nation's Top 10 all season, entered the tournament as heavy favorites after claiming their second straight SWC regular- season title in 1990. But the Cougars earned their first championship game appearance since 1984 on the strength of 11 consecutive regular-season victories and tournament wins over Rice and Texas. Arkansas jumped out to an early 11-point lead at 34-23 with 9:22 to play in the first half, but the Cougars, by virtue of senior Chris Morris' 14 first-half points, steadily whittled away at the Arkansas lead. The Cougars actually owned a one- point advantage (44-43) with 2:37 left in the opening half when junior Darrell Mickens knocked down a 15-footer, but Arkansas outscored UH 9-6 over the final 2:37 to take a 52-50 lead into the lockeroom. The Razorbacks jumped on Houston quickly in the opening minutes of the second half as their lead ballooned to 15 (65-50) at the 17:19 mark on guard Arlyn Bowers' two free throws. After that, Houston could pull no closer than seven points (91-84) with 2:39 to play. Arkansas' Todd Day, voted the Classic's Most Outstanding Player, led all scorers with 22 points and paced five Razorbacks in double figures. Houston was paced by All-SWC forward Carl Herrera, who led the Cougars with 17 points and 11 rebounds.

The sellout crowd of 16,713 witnessed one of the best 20 minutes of college basketball in the first half as the Longhorns, making their second championship game appearance in three years, play the talented Razorbacks nearly equal. Joey Wright poured in 18 first-half points as Texas trailed the No. 1-seeded Razorbacks 55-49 before a national TV audience on ABC. However, the second half was all Arkansas. Center Oliver Miller and guard Lee Mayberry combined for 43 points, and Arkansas blew open a close game early in the second half. The 120 points set a Classic championship game record, while Arkansas also became the first team to score 100 or more points in each of its three 1991 tournament games. The Arkansas victory avenged a 99-86 loss to Texas in Austin exactly a week earlier, spoiling the Razorbacks' bid to become only the third team to post a perfect 16-0 record in SWC regular-season play. The Hogs also became the first team to place four players on the All-Tournament team, led by Miller, voted the Classic's Most Outstanding Player.
