Eric Musselman calls out Jimmy Fallon, Jay Bilas for picking against Arkansas basketball

Immediately after Arkansas beat Vermont in the NCAA Tournament first round, Razorbacks head coach Eric Musselman was interviewed on TNT by Evan Washburn. He asked Musselman about avoiding an upset.

"Hey, it's a survive and advance," Musselman said. "There's upsets all the time, a lot of upsets — people were picking us to be the one. There were upsets here in Buffalo, but it wasn't the Razorbacks."

No. 4-seeded Arkansas defeated No. 13 seed Vermont 75-71 on Thursday night.

Later on Twitter, Musselman started pointing out to national experts and Jimmy Fallon that they incorrectly picked Arkansas to lose.
