NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman was named a finalist for the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year and Moses Moody a finalist for the Kyle Macy National Freshman of the year, CollegeInsider.com announced.
Musselman led Arkansas to a 21-5 record with an 11-game SEC win streak to end the regular season. The streak was the best in the SEC this season and ties the program record for consecutive SEC wins with the 1993-94 team. Arkansas, ranked eighth in both polls, is among the nation’s top 10 since the 1994-95 season. During that 11-game win streak, Arkansas was 6-0 in the month of February with five NCAA NET Quad 1 wins.

FAYETTEVILLE – Arkansas guard Moses Moody scored 28 points in both wins – at South Carolina and versus Texas A&M – to earn SEC Freshman of the Week honors for the second straight week and third time this season. He shared the honor this week with LSU’s Cameron Thomas.
Moody joins elite company – Daniel Gafford (2017-18), Bobby Portis (2012-13) and Patrick Beverly (2006-07) – as the only Razorbacks to be a three-time SEC Freshman of the Week honoree.
Moody helped Arkansas win its 11th straight SEC game – the best streak in the SEC this year and the program’s best streak since winning the final 11 regular-season SEC games of 1993-94. He tied his career high by scoring 28 points in both wins while shooting 63 percent from the field and 52.9 percent from 3-point range (tying his career-high with four triples at USC only to top it with five versus Texas A&M) while playing 70 minutes with zero turnove
