Interview With Quinn Buckner of CBS Sports in Fayetteville, Arkansas
December 9, 1995

    Mr. Buckner. I'm here with the First Fan. All right, now you're 
undefeated. Your team is now 33-24. If you had a chance to write out a 
play, what would you write for Nolan Richards?
    The President. I just think they need a chance to get a better shot. 
Cincinnati is a great defensive team. Looking at these games they're 
winning and the teams they're beating at very low scores, and our guys 
are great athletes, but they're freshmen. They're junior college 
transfers. They're just learning to play together. They have great 
potential, but Cincinnati is a great defensive team. We've got to figure 
out a way to break their defense to get good shots, and then they'll win 
the game.
    Mr. Buckner. Are you having much fun doing this? I mean, how often 
do you get to watch the Razorbacks?
    The President. Wherever they're on television I try to watch them, 
and then if I'm working at night, I try to have somebody film it so I 
can watch it later. I try to get down here to see a couple of games a 
year, and then if they get in the NCAA, of course, I try to see them a 
time or two.

Note: The interview began at 1:10 p.m. at Bud Walton Arena.
