  • A good read from the 1996 Eagle on the Tulsa-WSU rivalry




    My favorite part:

    To this day, one national championship and tons of victories later, Richardson can't forget bringing his teams into Levitt Arena for games in front of what he called "the Happy Hour crowd."
    "I never saw fans like that," Richardson said in a telephone interview from his Arkansas basketball office. "When they came in, they seemed like they were ready to throw cans on you."
    It got so bad, Richardson said, that he sometimes wouldn't let his wife come to Wichita for games. One year, she got into a pregame altercation with a WSU fan, one of several between Shocker and Hurricane fans over the years.
    "The (teams) played hard, but God, the fans were brutal," Richardson said. "They had some lady sitting behind us squealing all night. And she came down to Tulsa with them all the time. I'll never forget her."
