SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, Newsday (Long Island, NY) dated April 5, 1994. This newspaper contains a back page headline, action photo, and long detailed inside page report of the ARKANSAS "Razorbacks" defeating DUKE UNIVERSITY in the championship game to win the 1993-1994 NCAA college basketball championship. The 1993–94 Arkansas Razorbacks men's basketball team represented the University of Arkansas in the 1993–94 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Their head coach was Nolan Richardson in his ninth season at Arkansas. They played their home games at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas as members of the West Division of the Southeastern Conference. The Razorbacks finished the season 31–3, 14–2 in SEC play to win the West Division and regular season overall championships. They defeated Georgia in the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament before losing to Kentucky in the semifinals. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament as the No.1 seed in the Midwest Regional, their seventh straight trip to the tournament. They defeated North Carolina A&T and Georgetown to advance to the Sweet Sixteen for the fourth time in five years. There the Razorbacks defeated Tulsa and Michigan to earn a trip to the Final Four. It was Arkansas' fifth trip to the Final Four in program history. In the Final Four, they defeated No. 9-ranked Arizona before beating Duke in the National Championship game. Thanks to Scotty Thurman's high arching three-point shot with less than a minute to play in the national championship game, the team earned its first national championship in school history. Thurman's shot is known as the "Shot heard 'round Arkansas", and is considered one of the greatest plays in Arkansas Razorbacks sports history. Corliss Williamson was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it.
